only one gimp

Hi all,

Each time I open a file (double-click over the image), a new GIMP application opens even if there was already one. Opening images this way may end up with lots of GIMP's opened at the same time...

Is there a way of opening files in the same GIMP application? without using "File->Open" of course. I've searched through the GIMP preferences but haven't found an option.

Thanks

Associate image mime types with gimp-remote instead of gimp.

You can simply drag an image file onto the Gimp Toolbox and it will open.

Perhaps I have totally misunderstood the question but why not simply drag the image in question and drop it on the toolbox?

Gimp's toolbox might be open on a different desktop or otherwise buried beneath other windows.

Since the solution to this problem very much depends on the operating system you are using, it would help a lot if you could tell us what system you are using and which version of GIMP you have installed.

Ubuntu 7.04, GIMP 2.4.0

which system? i386/amd-64/ppc?
with compiled options? dbus enabled?

Since in the 7.04 it seems (to me) that gimp 2.4 do not comes already compiled (in 7.10 ther's a 2.4.0rc...) and packaged... is it the version you are actually using compiled by yourself or a binary tar ball, a snapshot or else?

Please be more detailed when asking help!
