Editing gradients

I want to edit a couple of gradients and I am unable to make the gradient editor work. I click on a gradient and I get the edit gradient dialog, but I am not able to do anything else. I right and left click on the segments and it seems that they are frozen. What am I doing wrong? I have googled for help and find some instructions, but they don't seem to work. I'm using Gimp 2.0 on Mepis. Thanks for any help!

Sorry, I just discovered that if I hit Duplicate gradient, I can edit it. Thanks!

So, the gradients that come pre-isntaled with the GIMP are read only - so they can't be edited, and the interface fails to show that by dispalying disabled controls. What is diasbled instead is the right click context menu.

All you have to do is click first on the "duplicate gradient" button, or in the "new gradient". That will bring up a working gradient editor dialog.

To edit gradients, you need write access to the gradient file, otherwise the gradient is opened read-only. If you are trying to edit a preset gradient, first copy the gradient, and then try editing.

Cheers, Dave.
