GIMP Version: 2.8.2.0
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Basic Level

Hello,

I got a new computer and want to transfer all of my custom gradients that are in Gimp on my old computer to my new computer. I have version 2.8.2 on my old computer and 2.8.10 on the new one. I read the manual and it says, "gradients that you create will be stored in your personal Gimp directory on your computer"....but they are not in the gradients folder in my Gimp program files. Where else should I be looking? After creating each one, I hit the "save" button which saves it to the gradient menu, but do I need to do something else to get it in the gradient folder on my computer?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

on mine, the default gradients are in
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\gradients
and the ones i copied/edit/create are in
C:\Users\tin\.gimp-2.8\gradients
tin is my user name
