[Gimp-user] download.dk - malicious or just sub-par?
Hi, we've been approached by download.dk about an award GIMP seems to have won on their site. They suggested to add this award to www.gimp.org with the usual link back to their site... Upon inspecting their GIMP download page, I'm not really sure if this is an elaborate scam, or just a sub-par try of implementing a downloads site: A strange driver update setup called installer.exe is more likely to be downloaded from their downloads page than the software the user intends to get. The link to this software is much more prominent. I tried to send them a mail about this problem, but that message was returned with a no mail exchangers for that domain, and the message shows some mailmarketing.com forwarding addresses. Has anyone got opinions about or experiences with this site? Reagrds, Michael ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Has anyone got opinions about or experiences with this site? Hey Michael, I just downloaded GIMP 2.8.2 from download.dk and got a 1.1 MB file called installer.exe. Clam Antivirus did not identify it as malware but in this case a negative result is as likely to indicate a frequently updated recompiled virus, trojan, or rootkit dropper as a safe executable. It is also possible that installer.exe installs harmless spyware. The only certain fact is that installer.exe is not GIMP 2.8.2 as advertised, so in this case a sub-par attempt at implementing a download site includes, at minimum, going to a great deal of unnecessary trouble to misrepresent of the wares offered. I would not do anything to advertise download.dk or encourage anyone to download and run installer.exe. I would be much more likely to post a prominent notice on whatever page download.dk expected their free advertisement to appear on, warning users not to download the GIMP from unverified third party sites to assure that you receive the latest and best version of the program. Or some such language. :o) Steve Kinney ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Any help would be greatly appreciated. What messages do you receive when you try to open these pictures? GIMP does not open files suffixed .jpg unless they really are jpg files.

Has anyone got opinions about or experiences with this site? The most probable explanation is some [hacked or] malicious web site trying to gain from the reputation of a renown product to spread malicious software instead of the true Gimp installer. Least I'd expect from a third party web site is to link or at most proxy download requests. In this very case it's obvious they didn't. Plus the fact that the domain has no mail exchanger shall trigger an alarm lamp string and put the threat level in maximum DEFCON. My 2¢. Vince C.

Click on the right frame of Open menu to update the thumbnail. You can also select all images in the open menu and click on the right frame to update all thumbnails.

I can't find answers for the following. 1. After I crop, size and save a photo, in the Open menu later the cursor and hourglass flash. And the thumbnail title says something like not up to date. I must have missed a step but I've tried many times with the same result. 2. I find no description of how to delete/remove an image from the gimp list/memory. Any help will be appreciated.
