I've installed the Creators Update for Windows 10 and afterwards co-incidentally noticed that there is a new folder in the Program Files/GIMP2 folder called "_off" which contains "libgs-8.dll", I know this wasn't there pre-the latest version (I didn't notice it when I installed 2.8.22, but then again not sure I looked until now)
Is this file legit?

Cheers

EDIT, just found out: "libgs-8.dll belongs to the Gimp plugin of Total Commander Ultima Prime (TC UP)" - whatever that means

OK, thanks - and is that .dll file 12,412 KB or thereabouts? Weird how it got sent to it's own little folder... very peculiar but probably not worth worrying about I'm guessing.

libgs-8.dll is a ghostscript file (for opening eps files). There is already one in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin which is a different size.
My guess, to do with the typical fix for the built in ghostscript not working.

Maybe the duff file moved out the way but not discarded.

OK, well moved it back to the bin folder - everything seems normal anyway so no problemo.

Not too sure that you should have done that, it is probably the old (no good) file. Open a .eps file and see.

As suspected it is the fix for opening postscript (.eps) files in Gimp

Well, I opened an EPS file with no problems with 2.8.22, so moving the file doesn't seem to affect anything, let me see if I place it back in the _off folder (will have to re-create it first)...... That work fine too (re-started GIMP to make sure)... OK well I'll leave it as is. Or not - decisions, decisions !!
