2.6.1 Bug??

I have been using ver 2.4.5. I downloaded and installed ver 2.6.1. The line above the tools which contains File, Xtns and Help is missing. I tried deleting and reloading it several times, but it is still missing. Finally, I went back to 2.4.5 and it's OK. I thought that maybe there was a command or something I could do to get it, but no luck.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

2.6.1 Bug??

Hi

This is the intended behaviour

In GIMP 2.6 the menu was moved into the image window, and that is why it stays open even if you close all the images.

2.6.1 Bug??

Thanks for the quick replies.

I hate to sound dense, but if there is no File-open function, how do you get an image onto the page to start with? I tried dragging and dropping but that didn't work.

When I open the program, all I get is a blank page with a tool bar and the message "You can drop dockable dialogs here". And I have no idea what that means, either.

It would help a lot if you would also follow the link that I gave you and read the release notes. When you start GIMP 2.6 there should be an empty image window. This window has a menubar where you will find the File menu.

2.6.1 Bug??

Hi Sven,

I did read all the notes, links and all the instructions available, but none gave a hint as to what was actually discovered by accident. When Gimp opens up the first time, the tool menu covers the entire screen. Since the tool menu always stays on top, nothing you do is visible and the File, etc. menu and images are hidden from view. I assumed that by dragging the visible screen smaller that the entire application was drug smaller, but it's not the case. When the tools menu is drug to the proper size, all is visible including the images.

Maybe this is a simple thing which should have been obvious, but I would not have expected that the tools menu could be drug to full screen size.

At any rate, all is now well. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Stu

Looks like we are having a communication problem here. What is the tool menu?? Perhaps you could show us a screenshot of the problem?

Stuart , I don't know if your problem was resolved , and you didn't say what OS...but I had the same problems loading 2.6.1 under windows vista , if so , when gimp starts is it showing the same old splash screen or the new one? what I had to do was delete all the folders in ' users' and a few strange places , I did a search on 'gimp' and got rid of all parts of the old installs and then it installed clean... ghk

You had a GIMP 2.2 or a GIMP 2.4 installation on this computer, right? If you could make the sessionrc file from your the ~/.gimp-2.2 or ~/.gimp-2.4 folder available, then we might be able to figure out what went wrong and improve the migration from older versions.
