Re: [Gimp-user] 2.8.22 is wacky

[Nate Owens <nateowens44 gmail com>]

I downloaded Gimp 2.6.12, all working fine
I'm using Windows 10 64bit
The computer has good graphics (runs ZBrush, etc)

Life is to short to jump through all these hoops

Also downloaded InkScape... looks good, going through some of the tuts

To answer the question how I select the move tool... 2 ways =
1. click the icon for the move tool in toolbox
2. do the keyboard shortcut
both opened the draw path tool
In version 2.6.12 it works as it should

Obviously (from this thread) there is an align to path tool (even shown in
the manual)

Thanks for the feedback
