gimp 2.8 brushes

I recently upgraded to suse 12.3 and now have gimp 2.8. (I like 2.6 much better, but that's not the question.) I lost my personal brushes, but I have the old brushes on another machine. Is there any reason I should not move my old (2.6) brushes into gimp 2.8? My fear is that the 2.6 brushes may not work with 2.8, but may override them so that nothing works.

Your old brushes should work fine. Check in your /home/(your-name)/.gimp-2.8/brushes/ directory (enable "view hidden files" in your file browser). It's probably empty; just dump the old ones in there.

If it's not empty, you can make a subdirectory under /brushes, call it old-ones or whatever, and put the old ones in there.

Either way,the GIMP should find them next time you start it and make them available via the Brushes dock window.
