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-2.6/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 1024M)
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       (interpolation-type cubic)
77
78              Sets the level of  interpolation  used  for  scaling  and  other
79              transformations.   Possible  values  are none, linear, cubic and
80              lanczos.

242
243       (undo-levels 5)
244
245              Sets  the  minimal number of operations that can be undone. More
246              undo levels are kept available  until  the  undo-size  limit  is
247              reached.  This is an integer value.
248
249
250       (undo-size 64M)
251
252              Sets an upper limit to the memory that is used per image to keep
253              operations on the undo stack. Regardless  of  this  setting,  at
254              least  as  many  undo-levels  as  configured can be undone.  The
255              integer size can contain a suffix of 'B', 'K', 'M' or 'G'  which
256              makes GIMP interpret the size as being specified in bytes, kilo‐
257              bytes, megabytes or gigabytes. If no  suffix  is  specified  the
258              size defaults to being specified in kilobytes.
259
260
261       (undo-preview-size large)
262
263              Sets  the  size  of  the previews in the Undo History.  Possible
264              values are tiny, extra-small, small, medium, large, extra-large,
265              huge, enormous and gigantic.
266
267
268       (plug-in-history-size 10)
269
270              How  many  recently  used  plug-ins to keep on the Filters menu.
271              This is an integer value.
272
273
274       (pluginrc-path "${gimp_dir}/pluginrc")
275
276              Sets the pluginrc search path.  This is a single filename.
277
278
279       (layer-previews yes)
280
281              Sets whether GIMP should create previews of layers and channels.
282              Previews  in the layers and channels dialog are nice to have but
283              they can slow things down when working with large images.   Pos‐
284              sible values are yes and no.
285
286
287       (layer-preview-size medium)
288
289              Sets  the  preview  size used for layers and channel previews in
290              newly created dialogs.  Possible values are  tiny,  extra-small,
291              small, medium, large, extra-large, huge, enormous and gigantic.
292
293
294       (thumbnail-size normal)
295
296              Sets the size of the thumbnail shown in the Open dialog.  Possi‐
297              ble values are none, normal and large.
298
299
300       (thumbnail-filesize-limit 4M)
301
302              The thumbnail in the Open dialog will be  automatically  updated
303              if  the  file being previewed is smaller than the size set here.
304              The integer size can contain a suffix of 'B', 'K',  'M'  or  'G'
305              which makes GIMP interpret the size as being specified in bytes,
306              kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes. If no suffix is specified the
307              size defaults to being specified in kilobytes.
308
309
310       (install-colormap no)
311
312              Install  a  private colormap; might be useful on 8-bit (256 col‐
313              ors) displays.  Possible values are yes and no.
314
315
316       (min-colors 144)
317
318              Generally only a concern for 8-bit displays, this sets the mini‐
319              mum  number  of  system  colors  allocated for GIMP.  This is an
320              integer value.
321

330                  (display-module "CdisplayLcms"))
331
332              Defines the color management  behavior.   This  is  a  parameter
333              list.
334
335
336       (color-profile-policy ask)
337

349
350              Sets  the size of the checkerboard used to display transparency.
351              Possible  values  are  small-checks,  medium-checks  and  large-
352              checks.
353
354
355       (transparency-type gray-checks)
356
357              Sets  the  manner  in which transparency is displayed in images.
358              Possible  values  are  light-checks,  gray-checks,  dark-checks,
359              white-only, gray-only and black-only.
360
361
362       (snap-distance 8)
363
364              This  is  the  distance  in pixels where Guide and Grid snapping
365              activates.  This is an integer value.
366
367

369
370              Speed of marching ants in the selection outline.  This value  is
371              in  milliseconds (less time indicates faster marching).  This is
372              an integer value.
373
374
375       (resize-windows-on-zoom no)
376
377              When enabled, the image window will automatically resize  itself
378              when  zooming  into  and out of images.  Possible values are yes
379              and no.
380
381
382       (resize-windows-on-resize no)
383
384              When enabled, the image window will automatically resize  itself
385              whenever  the  physical image size changes.  Possible values are
386              yes and no.
387
388
389       (default-dot-for-dot yes)
390
391              When enabled, this will ensure that each pixel of an image  gets
392              mapped  to  a  pixel on the screen.  Possible values are yes and
393              no.
394
395
396       (initial-zoom-to-fit yes)
397
398              When enabled, this will ensure that the full  image  is  visible
399              after  a  file  is opened, otherwise it will be displayed with a
400              scale of 1:1.  Possible values are yes and no.
401
402
403       (perfect-mouse yes)
404
405              When enabled, the X server is queried for  the  mouse's  current
406              position  on each motion event, rather than relying on the posi‐
407              tion hint.  This means painting with  large  brushes  should  be
408              more  accurate,  but  it  may  be slower.  Perversely, on some X
409              servers enabling this option results in faster painting.  Possi‐
410              ble values are yes and no.
411
412

595
596              Sets the color that is used for XOR drawing. This  setting  only
597              exists  as  a  workaround for buggy display drivers. If lines on
598              the canvas are not correctly undrawn, try to set this to  white.
599              The  color  is  specified in the form (color-rgb red green blue)
600              with channel values as floats in the range of 0.0 to 1.0.

608
609       (default-threshold 15)
610
611              Tools such as fuzzy-select and bucket fill find regions based on
612              a seed-fill algorithm.  The seed fill starts  at  the  initially
613              selected  pixel  and progresses in all directions until the dif‐
614              ference of pixel intensity from the original is greater  than  a
615              specified  threshold.  This value represents the default thresh‐
616              old.  This is an integer value.
617
618
619       (move-tool-changes-active no)
620
621              If enabled, the move tool sets  the  edited  layer  or  path  as
622              active.   This  used  to  be the default behaviour in older ver‐
623              sions.  Possible values are yes and no.

697
698
699       (max-new-image-size 128M)
700
701              GIMP will warn the user if an attempt is made to create an image
702              that would take more memory than the size specified  here.   The
703              integer  size can contain a suffix of 'B', 'K', 'M' or 'G' which
704              makes GIMP interpret the size as being specified in bytes, kilo‐
705              bytes,  megabytes  or  gigabytes.  If no suffix is specified the
706              size defaults to being specified in kilobytes.

PATH EXPANSION

855       Strings  of  type  PATH  are  expanded  in a manner similar to bash(1).
856       Specifically: tilde (~) is expanded to the user's home directory.  Note
857       that  the  bash  feature  of  being  able to refer to other user's home
858       directories by writing ~userid/ is not valid in this file.
859
860       ${variable} is expanded to the current value of  an  environment  vari‐
861       able.  There are a few variables that are pre-defined:
862
863       gimp_dir
864              The  personal  gimp  directory  which is set to the value of the
865              environment variable GIMP2_DIRECTORY or to ~/.gimp-2.6.
866
867       gimp_data_dir
868              Base for paths to shareable data, which is set to the  value  of
869              the  environment  variable  GIMP2_DATADIR  or to the compiled-in
870              default value /usr/share/gimp/2.0.
871
872       gimp_plug_in_dir
873              Base to paths for  architecture-specific  plugins  and  modules,
874              which   is   set  to  the  value  of  the  environment  variable
875              GIMP2_PLUGINDIR   or   to   the   compiled-in   default    value
876              /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0.
877
878       gimp_sysconf_dir
879              Path  to  configuration  files, which is set to the value of the
880              environment variable  GIMP2_SYSCONFDIR  or  to  the  compiled-in
881              default value /etc/gimp/2.0.
