WARNING: make backups of any system files before altering them I'll let you know the GIMP test from here on out, so you know if it was the problem that was or was not resolved.These instructions are written from a Debian based system, but may work similarly on other Posix/Unix/Linux/BSD desktops. I still need to use GIMP more time to observe this. We did it last night and it seemed a bit faster to open images in GIMP after installing the graphics driver. We used a remote access program to check the hardware configuration. But, I made a new request and it sent me the correct links.Ī friend from college times who is a networking technician has helped me choose the best graphics driver option. I had already requested drivers for Windows 10 from the manufacturer of my computer and it had sent me links only to Windows 8. What I needed to know is if I should put some value there for GIMP 2.10. And my question was motivated by the fact that, in the first attempt to re-enable Seven's photo viewer, there was a reference to GIMP 2.8 in the "value data" box. Only for viewing images regardless of GIMP. My brain works faster with simple white background images and loading images got much faster after rehabbing Seven's photo viewer. This was something I wanted to do to change the photo viewer, because I really hated the version of that tool in Windows 10. I did the uninstallation of GIMP 2.8 and also removed GIMP 2.10 using RevoUninstaller.Īfter that, I did the registry editing procedure to re-enable the Seven photo viewer in Windows 10. ![]() Very difficult to diagnose a flaky windows installation at a distance, could be all sorts slowing things down, Anti-virus is always a suspect, anything running in the background. That will open an image in the old Win 7 viewer. There is now an option for Windows Photo Viewer choose that repeat for the other file types you use. Now back to the Win 10 Change Associations. The earlier question was enabling the Windows 7 photoviewer in Windows 10 in the (vain) hope that it makes thing faster.Įditing the registry for this is a bit complicated, thankfully there are something.reg files around to do the job for you.ĭownload the file Restore_Windows_Photo_Viewer_CURRENT_USER.reg Click on that gets a sequence like this. tif Clicking on an image opens in Gimp.example Windows is a PITA, you need to do that for each file type you use. jpg - click on it (2) that gives some options but not Gimp so click on More apps (3) Still no Gimp so click on Look for another app (4) Browse and find GIMP-2.10.n.exe and click Open. Now a lot in one screenshot (1) For any particular image type - say. Plenty of examples on the internet if you do not get the following.įirst thing to get is the Windows 10 file association settings: Do a search for associations - choose Change file type. Using partha's gimp you will need to set file associations for this version. ![]() I did look at your screenshot, not a good idea to edit the registry in that manner unless you are certain you know what you are doing.

"Īnd would like to know if it refers to replacing "" with some instruction related to GIMP 2.10? Can you explain to me what Partha is referring to in this excerpt from his tutorial? Remove all references to the software you are installing from the registry and then use Windows to associate this version with your desired image formats. ![]() On the Partha's page I read this statement: If you lost your gimp 2.8.22 installer get it here: ĭid you see the image I posted with the reference to GIMP 2.8 in the "Value data" box when I tried to re-enable Seven's photo viewer on windows 10? If that gives no improvement, I recommend going back to Gimp 2.8.22 The Gimp 2.10.2 slowness is not going to be fixed by re-enabling the old Windows viewer It is a hardware problem, probably your graphics card.Īs a long shot you could try an alternative version, one from Resources (scripts / plugins /brushes etc) are copied from C:\Users\Maria\.gimp-2.8 to C:\Users\Maria\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10Ĭ:\Users\Maria\AppData is a Windows 'hidden folder' to easily use it, enable hidden folders. The first time Gimp 2.10 is run, a new Gimp 2.10 profile is created C:\Users\Maria\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10Ĥ. Gimp 2.10 installs in the same place C:\Program Files\GIMP 2 (what was gimp 2.8)ģ. The way the Windows Gimp 2.10 installer works is:Ģ. Keep C:\Users\Maria\.gimp-2.8 you might need it in the future. The GIMP 2.10 interface may be slow because Windows is trying to open images with GIMP 2.8, as the screenshot I posted shows?
