Re: [Gimp-user] Retrieving Graphic Designs From Crashed Hard Drive (How To)

[Daniel Smith <opened to gmail com>]

you didnt say whether you were on windows or mac, but i would search your
pc for the name of any files you know the name that you saved it to. that
will show you the folder(s) where all or some of the files are. if i were
you i'd try to install the same version that you were using so it makes a
replica of the previous install, then just try copying the whole folder
replacing the new similar one etc. try that and see. make a backup on disk
or thumb drive to make sure you dont lost it if something goes wrong.
