Hi Elvis,

there is not the one citing rule to rule them all, because there are many of them around. The proper citing depends on the citing rules of your publisher so you better ask them.

One tentative clue: The GIMP team, GIMP 2.8.10, www.gimp.org, 1997-2014, retrieved on 31.07.2014.

Kind regards

Sven

Well first, you'd likely rather write GIMP, with all capital letters, since GIMP is an acronym. You may even cite the full name: GNU Image Manipulation Program
As for the rest, you may want to give the http://gimp.org address, which is the official project web address, hence the main reference to refer people to, if they want to know more by themselves.

And after that, it's up to you how much more details you want to write in your book, especially if it is not about GIMP. You may want to explain what is GIMP (on the website, the project description is: " It is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring."), or talk about the license (GPLv3). But it all depends on what you want to point at, in particular.
Have fun.

Jehan

Many thanks

Elvis

If this is always true, then the GimpApplicator should become GIMPApplicator ? (see attached snapshot)

That's just following the way things are named in the code (CamelCase is used for class names, like GimpApplicator). That checkbox is only present for debugging the development version, and will certainly disappear before 2.10 is released.

So, pretend that checkbox doesn't exist.
