Hi everyone. I was working with GIMP 2.6.4 on windows XP when I managed to blunder away my toolbar tab from the tool box. I figured out how to open

the

dialog but it absolutely refuses to re-dock with my toolbox window and I

was

hoping someone would walk me through the process.

I see the little triangle on the dialog and when I open it and click dock,

it

does nothing. I have tried installing Gimp 2.6.5 and reinstalling 2.6.4 but each time the dialog is seperate from the toolbox.

Thank you for taking the time to read my request!

Hi!

It is a bit difficult in the first time when you loose the tool options - but it is really easy if you understand how docking in GIMP works. I made a screenshot to better show the process:

you've to open up Windows / Dockable Dialogs / Tool Options first to view the options - then drag them to the tools window. You HAVE TO click and move the bold text title - in my case this is "Move". Hope that helps.

Bernhard, perhaps you would like to integrate this into the user manual. Looks like http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-concepts-docks.html could be more specific about this. Perhaps get in contact with the documentation team and offer your help?
