Running Gimp 2.4 and older versions of Gimp (2.217)

I have alot of plugins that I use in the older version of The Gimp and do not want to lose them. I was wondering can I have both the new and old version of The Gimp installed on Windows XP without having a conflict. Or do I need to install Gimp 2.4 somewhere else other than C:\Program Files

If you kept them in your personal plug-ins directory, they will even be copied automatically. Most of them seem to work.

You should not overwrite the existing GIMP then. The installer offers s customize button, make sure that you do choose a different directory.

HTH, Michael

The plug-in API is backward compatible. All plug-ins that worked with GIMP 2.0 or GIMP 2.2 are going to work with GIMP 2.4. There are some issues with old scripts though. But it shouldn't be much of a problem to update them (see http://gimp.org/docs/script-fu-update.html).
