Īnd rename and copy it to the usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps folder. The gimp.svg icon is missing in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps. To be honest, I had to get used to Unity/ the dash / global menu / Hud, but now I’m used to it and and start missing it on other Ubuntu machines No Gimp image showing in the launcher So you can use that menu, and the global menu. That will create a new launcher that will start Gimp with a menu in the image window. That can be done by adding this environment variable to the command to run Gimp:Ĭopy the sktop file from /usr/share/applications/sktop to ~/home/.local/share /applications and change the line withĮxec=env APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1 gimp-2.8 %UĪnd drag the sktop file from the ~/home/.local/share/applications folder to your launcher. Also that can be cured easily, just enable the window menu again in the picture window. Gimp does support the global menu for Gnome 3 or Unity, in short this saves worthy space on your screen, but because Gimp uses several floating windows for layers, and the toolbox this isn’t working well, because the toolbox doesn’t have a menu, and the main menu doesn’t show when the toolbox window is selected. How to get the menu back in Gimp under Unity UPDATE: with the latest ppa update the file-compressor is installed automatically. Luckily it’s not so difficult to get it back, just install the file-compressor plug-in manually., by taking it from an older gimp build. XCF files are big uncompressed files, saving it as a xcfbz or xcfgz cab save a lot of MB’s but somehow that option is missing from the new 2.8 install. Other formats, like jpeg, or pgn is now called exporting, This isn’t a regression only you need different menu item, and there is a shortcut `export to` for fast exporting. Other changes include that saving is now only impossible as xcf file, the native Gimp file format. It did hang though on some sites with flash content. Something like the Shutter can do as well. Well, it’s more then a screenshot because it renders the whole page not only what’s visible in the viewport of your browser.

Sudo apt-get install gimp gimp-plugin-registry Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp Some sites tell you that you need to uninstall anything before or that you will running into problem, An that was true, until a few days. The latest update of this PPA also offer new newly compiled plug-ins for Gimp 2.8, which is quite an improvement, because I could install Gimp 2.8 today to over 2.6 without a hassle. Luckily it’s quite easy to install Gimp 2.8 manually with adding a PPA and do an update. Unfortunately, because Gimp 2.8 has some nice improvements.
