NAME

7       gimprc - gimp configuration file
8

DESCRIPTION

10       The gimprc file is a configuration file read by GIMP when it starts up.
11       There   are   two   of   these:   one   system-wide   one   stored   in
12       /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc  and  a  per-user $HOME/.gimp-2.8/gimprc which may
13       override system settings.
14
15       Comments are introduced by a hash sign (#), and continue until the  end
16       of the line.  Blank lines are ignored.
17
18       The  gimprc  file  associates values with properties.  These properties
19       may be set by lisp-like assignments of the form:
20
21              (property-name value)
22
23       where:
24
25       property-name
26                 is one of the property names described below.
27
28       value     is the value the property is to be set to.
29
30       Either spaces or tabs may be used to separate the name from the value.
31

PROPERTIES

33       Valid properties and their default values are:
34
35
36       (temp-path "${gimp_dir}/tmp")
37
38              Sets the folder for temporary storage. Files  will  appear  here
39              during  the  course  of running GIMP.  Most files will disappear
40              when GIMP exits, but some files are likely to remain, so  it  is
41              best  if  this  folder not be one that is shared by other users.
42              This is a single folder.
43
44
45       (swap-path "${gimp_dir}")
46
47              Sets the swap file location. GIMP uses a tile based memory allo‐
48              cation scheme.  The swap file is used to quickly and easily swap
49              tiles out to disk and back in. Be aware that the swap  file  can
50              easily  get  very large if GIMP is used with large images. Also,
51              things can get horribly slow if the swap file is  created  on  a
52              folder  that  is mounted over NFS.  For these reasons, it may be
53              desirable to put your swap file in "/tmp".   This  is  a  single
54              folder.
55
56
57       (num-processors 1)
58
59              Sets  how many processors GIMP should try to use simultaneously.
60              This is an integer value.
61
62
63       (tile-cache-size 1421926k)
64
65              When the amount of pixel data  exceeds  this  limit,  GIMP  will
66              start  to swap tiles to disk.  This is a lot slower but it makes
67              it possible to work on images that wouldn't fit into memory oth‐
68              erwise.  If you have a lot of RAM, you may want to set this to a
69              higher value.  The integer size can contain  a  suffix  of  'B',
70              'K',  'M'  or  'G'  which makes GIMP interpret the size as being
71              specified in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes  or  gigabytes.  If  no
72              suffix  is  specified  the  size  defaults to being specified in
73              kilobytes.
74
75
76
77       Specifies the language to use for the user interface.  This is a string
78       value.
79
80
81       (interpolation-type cubic)
82
83              Sets  the  level  of  interpolation  used  for scaling and other
84              transformations.  Possible values are none,  linear,  cubic  and
85              lanczos.
86
87
88       (default-threshold 15)
89
90              Tools such as fuzzy-select and bucket fill find regions based on
91              a seed-fill algorithm.  The seed fill starts  at  the  initially
92              selected  pixel  and progresses in all directions until the dif‐
93              ference of pixel intensity from the original is greater  than  a
94              specified  threshold.  This value represents the default thresh‐
95              old.  This is an integer value.
96

298
299       (undo-levels 5)
300
301              Sets  the  minimal number of operations that can be undone. More
302              undo levels are kept available  until  the  undo-size  limit  is
303              reached.  This is an integer value.
304
305
306       (undo-size 64M)
307
308              Sets an upper limit to the memory that is used per image to keep
309              operations on the undo stack. Regardless  of  this  setting,  at
310              least  as  many  undo-levels  as  configured can be undone.  The
311              integer size can contain a suffix of 'B', 'K', 'M' or 'G'  which
312              makes GIMP interpret the size as being specified in bytes, kilo‐
313              bytes, megabytes or gigabytes. If no  suffix  is  specified  the
314              size defaults to being specified in kilobytes.
315
316
317       (undo-preview-size large)
318
319              Sets  the  size  of  the previews in the Undo History.  Possible

336
337              Sets whether GIMP should create previews of layers and channels.
338              Previews  in the layers and channels dialog are nice to have but
339              they can slow things down when working with large images.   Pos‐
340              sible values are yes and no.
341
342
343       (layer-preview-size medium)
344
345              Sets  the  preview  size used for layers and channel previews in
346              newly created dialogs.  Possible values are  tiny,  extra-small,
347              small, medium, large, extra-large, huge, enormous and gigantic.

353              ble values are none, normal and large.
354
355
356       (thumbnail-filesize-limit 4M)
357
358              The thumbnail in the Open dialog will be  automatically  updated
359              if  the  file being previewed is smaller than the size set here.
360              The integer size can contain a suffix of 'B', 'K',  'M'  or  'G'
361              which makes GIMP interpret the size as being specified in bytes,
362              kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes. If no suffix is specified the
363              size defaults to being specified in kilobytes.

425       (resize-windows-on-zoom no)
426
427              When  enabled, the image window will automatically resize itself
428              when zooming into and out of images.  Possible  values  are  yes
429              and no.
430
431
432       (resize-windows-on-resize no)
433
434              When  enabled, the image window will automatically resize itself
435              whenever the physical image size changes.  Possible  values  are
436              yes and no.
437
438
439       (default-dot-for-dot yes)
440
441              When  enabled, this will ensure that each pixel of an image gets
442              mapped to a pixel on the screen.  Possible values  are  yes  and
443              no.
444
445
446       (initial-zoom-to-fit yes)
447
448              When  enabled,  this  will ensure that the full image is visible
449              after a file is opened, otherwise it will be  displayed  with  a
450              scale of 1:1.  Possible values are yes and no.
451
452
453       (perfect-mouse yes)
454
455              When  enabled,  the  X server is queried for the mouse's current
456              position on each motion event, rather than relying on the  posi‐
457              tion  hint.   This  means  painting with large brushes should be
458              more accurate, but it may be  slower.   Conversely,  on  some  X
459              servers enabling this option results in faster painting.  Possi‐
460              ble values are yes and no.

471              Context-dependent  mouse pointers are helpful.  They are enabled
472              by default.  However, they require overhead that you may want to
473              do without.  Possible values are yes and no.
474
475
476       (show-brush-outline yes)
477
478              When enabled, all paint tools will show a preview of the current

761              integer size can contain a suffix of 'B', 'K', 'M' or 'G'  which
762              makes GIMP interpret the size as being specified in bytes, kilo‐
763              bytes, megabytes or gigabytes. If no  suffix  is  specified  the
764              size defaults to being specified in kilobytes.

PATH EXPANSION

896       Strings  of  type  PATH  are  expanded  in a manner similar to bash(1).
897       Specifically: tilde (~) is expanded to the user's home directory.  Note
898       that  the  bash  feature  of  being  able to refer to other user's home
899       directories by writing ~userid/ is not valid in this file.
900
901       ${variable} is expanded to the current value of  an  environment  vari‐
902       able.  There are a few variables that are pre-defined:
903
904       gimp_dir
905              The  personal  gimp  directory  which is set to the value of the
906              environment variable GIMP2_DIRECTORY or to ~/.gimp-2.8.
907
908       gimp_data_dir
909              Base for paths to shareable data, which is set to the  value  of
910              the  environment  variable  GIMP2_DATADIR  or to the compiled-in
911              default value /usr/share/gimp/2.0.
912
913       gimp_plug_in_dir
914              Base to paths for  architecture-specific  plugins  and  modules,
915              which   is   set  to  the  value  of  the  environment  variable
916              GIMP2_PLUGINDIR   or   to   the   compiled-in   default    value
917              /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0.
918
919       gimp_sysconf_dir
920              Path  to  configuration  files, which is set to the value of the
921              environment variable  GIMP2_SYSCONFDIR  or  to  the  compiled-in
