Preferences
In the preference dialog will you set nearly all adjustable values in Gimp, some additional preferences values are still only stable in the gimprc file in your personal Gimp directory. For further information of such values consult your system wide gimprc file usually located in /usr/share/gimp or /usr/local/share/gimp. There are several categories that you can adjust. New File which controls the default values of when you create a new file. Display which controls transparency type and scaling. Interface which controls preview, navigation, help, image window, and tool options. Environment which controls memory usage, file saving and 8bit display settings. Session which controls the session management in Gimp. Monitor which controls how you manage monitor. Directories which controls where Gimp loads additional resource such as plug-ins, scripts, patterns are located. It also controls where Gimps swap file is located. The swap file location is very important to Gimps performance. ### Additional Information For further information see The Gimp User's Manual page XXXX and the Gimp User's Tutorial page YYYY Shortcut Key Modifier Drag and Drop Xinput ----DEV---- Index (/dialogs/preferences/preferences.html) Sorry but the help file for preferences is not yet done. /Karin & Olof
