How am I able to get the 'edit with gimp' in the right click menu. I had it once before with another computer - I have no idea how I did that. Can someone give me some steps. I'm sure it is easy but I cannot figure it out.

This is "Edit" and not "Open With" which is a file association?



(Easiest way for file associations is a re-install using the customise option which has a section for associations.)

For Edit: Open the registry editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to the following key:



and change the default Windows editor to point to the Gimp executable. "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.10.exe" "%1" Note the quotes because of the spaces in the file name.



Of course, these values can be exported as backups, so attached is a zip file.

Unpack it. Three small files gimpedit.reg for a regular gimp 2.10, partha2-10-8.reg for the latest Partha regular version & restore.reg to set back to the Win editor.

Click on the one you want, accept the dire warnings that Windows throws out, and that is all.

Thank you rich for answering. Yeah mine says edit with '3D' I think it is a new Windows program.
I also have open with, and saw the Gimp Partha 2.10.8 std was in there unless it moved to there after I opened a pic with gimp using open with 'another app'. I do not remember seeing it before.
We will see how this works and if not I will definitely try the way you suggested.
