Difference between 1.2 .gih and 1.3 .gih files?

Hi,

I notice that I get lots of complaints about corrupt brush files when I try to load .gih files from gimp-1.2.x into 1.3.20. Can somebody please point me to the right place to discover the difference between the gimp-1.2 .gih brushes and whatever the equivalent is in gimp-1.3.20? I have a whole lot of brushes that I'd like to convert if only I knew how.

TIA

AFAIK, there shouldn't be any incompatible change - I have no problem loading the brushes from gimp-data-extras (which are 1.2 brushes) into 1.3, for example.

Could you provide an example .gih file for testing, please? You could attach it to the bugzilla report you open describing the problem ;-)

Thanks a lot,
Dave.

The GIH plugin still is able to load these brushes. You can load them into the Gimp (as an image) and save them again. Maybe keep a backup to be sure.

Bye,

Hi Jeff,

The GIH format has changed shortly before the 1.2 release since it used the (now obsolete) special pixmap brush file format (which has been merged with the GBR gimp brush format).

Just open the failing brushes with ->Open and save them again. The plug-in is still able to read these files and will save the new format.

ciao,
--Mitch

Thanks to Dave, Simon, and Mitch for the prompt replies. I'm converting the old brushes now.

Hmm, this should make it into the release notes.
