2.10.9 means it's experimental as apposed to 2.10.8 stable version.

First time updating Gimp...

Do I install directly over top of 2.10.6 or do I have to uninstall my old version first?...

No one can answer that question without knowing.....

1. OS you are using.
2. Method of installing you are using.

Answer those two simple questions and you'll get a simple answer.

Ahh, right racer-x, I should have known, sorry about that... :oops: ... :) ...

Anyway, I'm using Windows 10..home edition; Gimp 2.10.6

I was told that I can't update within Gimp & that I would have to get the 189 MB download (gimp-2.10.8-setup.exe)...

A google search didn't give me any info on how to go about updating Gimp, so I thought I'd better check here first...

Thanks...

Hi FlutteringBy. I have Windows 10 and the way I do it is, I uninstall the old version first. When you uninstall Gimp, the only thing that will uninstall will be program on you C drive Gimp 2. The directory on you personal Gimp folder your PC: C:\Users\Pocholo\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10 will stay. DO NOT DELETE THIS FOLDER. You need this folder because you don't want to loose your preferences, (brushes, gradients, patterns, plugins, scripts...etc. Once you Install a new version, this new version will take over your Preferences and you will have everything you place in your preferences.

Like Racer X said this is a Beta or Experimental version. All the Gimp versions ending on an odd number are all experimental. I always wait for the Stable version to be out, then I upgrade.

Thanks Pocholo, that's the exact info I was looking for as I was worried about losing all my preferences etc...

I will definitely stay away from the odd numbered versions... :hehe ...

I installed it on my Ubuntu linux PC and it installed on the root directory. #BooHissBoo.

Ok. I found my profile which I have copy/paste access to and something strange. It was installed as a SNAP package even though @gimpofficial on FB says GIMP does not use SNAP.

The program seems to be installed at the root level:
/user/share/gimp/2.0/ - you need root privilege for making changes here.

When you look in the Gimp program preferences under "files" you will see a different directory structure defined:
/snap/gimp/94/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/

My profile (This is where you can personalize your GIMP) is defined as: 
/home/my_name/snap/gimp/94/.config/GIMP/2.10/

I mostly need an old script that may not even work on this version: "AdamsDivideScannedImages.scm" which allowed me to break up a scan of multiple photos into individual files and straightening them at the same time. This is an emulation of a very useful PhotoShop tool. I copied my old script which works but the "deskew" portion of it does not.

Just wondering Which version of Ubuntu and which version/format of Gimp 2.10.x ?

Quote:
I installed it on my Ubuntu linux PC and it installed on the root directory. I don't have root permission when working via the "files" tool so I can't just copy/paste scripts, brushes and etc to the appropriate directories.


Of course Gimp 2.10 installs system files/plugins/scripts to the root folders, so does Gimp 2.8 - 2.4.... That is why there is a Gimp user profile in your home partition ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/ /.config is hidden so unhide it.

I still use a dividescannedimages from RobA (2013). Using that slightly modified version (also 2013) from Adams, shown here:
Scanned straight into Gimp and divided/de-skewed.

Image

The most recent version (2016) is here https://github.com/FrancoisMalan/DivideScannedImages

Things that can go wrong.
If using an appimage or snap Gimp 2.10 then the Sane scanner plugin is probably not going to work.
If using the latest of the appimages (based on CentOS) then the deskew plugin will probably not work.

Not the only way, the gmic_gimp plugin www.gmic.eu will separate the scan.

Image

Not quite as convenient, gives an image with separate layers and no straightening. The Gimp 2.10.8 measure tool can be used for straightening.
