Re: [Gimp-user] Download GIMP to a large (1.5TB) outside drive.

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong magma ca>]

I have most of my photo files on an external drive (Win 7).

When you click File > Open, you will see a tree directory on the left-hand 
side that lists all your drives. Click on your external dive letter to get 
that drive and to see a list of the folders in it. You can also navigate 
down that drive to find the folder/file that you want.

Down at the bottom left you will see a space under a separator line. By 
clicking on the plus sign "+" you can add a shortcut down there directly to 
any folder or file you have chosen on that drive (or any other drive you 
have selected). Theses shortcuts can also be deleted by clicking on the 
minus "-" sign.

On the right-hand panel of the "Open" dialogue, you can see a preview of a 
file. Click on a file name, then click on the panel to view.

Hope that helps.

Rick Strong

Download or install? Is the H: drive removable?


I don't know the Windows version well but in the Linux file dialogs you
can add you favorite directories for quick access.
