I bought a new computer - still have access to the old one through ssh. The old computer running suse11.3 has many gimp brushes that I made. New computer running suse11.4, gimp 2.6.11 How can I get my brushes (the ones I made) over to the new computer/new Gimp?
If ssh is not the best way, I can also get into the old computer gui-ly with ssh -X

Your brushes are under ~/.gimp-2.6/brushes

use scp/mc/dolphin/krusader/... to copy them to your new install at: ~/.gimp-2.6/brushes
or another local directory and make sure that gimp --> edit --> preferences --> folders --> brushes points to your chosen destination.

assuming you have gimp-2.6 on your 11.3 install.

Patrick,
The old machine has gimp 2.6.8, the new one is 2.6.11. And I'm a little over my head here. I assume scp/mc/dolphin/krusader/
is not the actual command but rather some suggested options. so maybe something like, from old machine scp ~/.gimp-2.6/brushes >
no, that would copy the file onto itself... I guess I'm more than a little over my head. But you've told me where they are and that's a good first step.

scp = secure copy
mc = midnight commander
dolphin = dolphin
krusader = krusader

scp --help or man scp
will explain scp

scp user@192.168.1.3:/home/user/gimp-2.6/brushes/brush1 \ user@192.168.1.5:/home/user/gimp-2.6/brushes/

would be easier for you to ssh -X ... and use dolphin or krusader

Or just copy over the whole brush directory to the machine you're on, with the -r option, e.g.:

scp -r username@192.168.1.3:~/gimp-2.6/brushes ~/.gimp-2.6/
(this will overwrite brush files with the same name on your local machine)

to bypass the overwrite situation, copy the present brushes directory to another place and replace it after the transfer.
