Yeah; I copied mine from my GIMP2.6x directory (I reinstalled 2.6.12 after installing 2.8; not sure why the gurus wanted 2.6 gone since they both can co-exist so long as they don't use the same program files directory). Anyway, click the attached file for the german flag smooth gradient and place it in your user account/.gimp2/gradients directory.

You can download gimp-2.6.12 portable from sourceforge and just rob the resource files (that's what i did)

Eventually, I'll probably add all the missing gradients, but so far only added German Flag and German Flag smooth gradients. Not sure why the gurus decided not to include the standard gradients with 2.8. Just more strangeness that I've ran into, but consider this one a choice and that one of the gurus don't like Europeans since French Flag gradients also were not included (well a few other flag gradients as well). lololol

Lyle i found (at least in Parthas Portable version), that there is a folder inside the gradients folder named "gimp-obsolete-files"
Inside it are all the older gradients.
I found this to be the case with brushes also.
