Re: [Gimp-user] Download for 2.10.24 not installing
Reay ... I think if you're seeing a .part file, download is incomplete. For me the .part is a temporary file that goes away why when the download completes leaving the full file for use. Perhaps the download was interpret in some way. I'd try a new download. Regards.

[Gimp-user] Download for 2.10.24 not installing
Good evening -- Relatively new GIMP user here, and at a bit of a loss for what to do: I was told my GIMP had an updated version, so went and downloaded that (just used the default Windows option, direct from the site), and in my Downloads folder, neither the application nor the .part files want to operate. The application informs me it isn't right for my version of Windows (but I thought it automatically detected which version of Windows I was running and installed the appropriate version), and the .part file asks me what program I want to open it with, which doesn't seem normal. Any insight about how to get the right version of the update for Windows 8.1 64-bit? Thanks very much. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Of Cabbages and Kings
With 3.49 Million deaths world-wide from COVID, etc., etc., etc., there are greater things to occupy our thoughts and take our energy, IMHO. GIMP has been my go-to program for years now and that won't change.

Re: [Gimp-user] Violation of GNOME Code of Conduct - ablelist language and discrimination
One point: by all means say the acronymic name of the project and software is sub-optimal, but please provide a proposed better name. And for the acronym? A renaming of those 4 words fails on the first and last I think. They could be reordered without losing sense:- GNU Image Manipulation Program could become GNU Manipulating Images Program. It is a general principle of Open Source movements that nobody may (or can) be prevented from doing the work and offering it, but that also nobody may instruct anyone else that they must do some work. Offer money, that'd be different, although none of this is work I'd care to bid for. Gnome. --- You seem to be asserting that nobody would be upset by being called a gnome. It isn't so. However since there are more things than words, some words get used for more than one thing. Googling for gimp, Gimp or GIMP, I find the first result is for the GNU Image Manipulation Program. GIMP is a longstanding project, first announced in November 1995 It takes 4 paragraphs down from that to find anything else. (And that's an article in The Register telling us of the formation of Glimpse. It asserts the most modern - new - use of the word - which I'd distinguish from the acronym, but that may be too subtle - gimp is as given by the OP here. GIMP is a longstanding project, first announced in November 1995 When did gimp start being used in the sense complained of? "gimp leg" occurs in British fiction of I think the 1940s, perhaps earlier, but always in relation to someone wounded in the leg during one of the recent wars, as an adjective, and as a first person description ("my gimp leg"), not a pejorative one about another person. However the use complained of may have arisen more recently. When? BTW? I first recall it in contemporary use in a film,Pulp Fiction, referring to someone whose sexual tastes were unusual in a specific way involving a leather suit and mask. I think that unless the fox changes his fur that would not be confused. "Finally, if you still have strong feelings about the name "GIMP", you should feel free to promote the use of the long form GNU Image Manipulation Program" Two points in that quote from the project website: it is the acronym GIMP that is offered as the short form name, and the name is the long form. Glimpse seems a misconceived reaction, and not really to what it was presented as. To fork the project and produce a new one whose mission statement might be "A fork of the GNU Image Manipulation Program Project intended to have exactly one difference: the name, which does not suit everyone for various reasons" would do the job. The OP is as free as anyone else to do so and good luck. I'd suggest that attempting to acquire donations for anything more than the direct cost of duplicating and storing the project would be unwise in terms of effect. Glimpse (not apparently an acronym?) I'm not bothered, but then I've done no work in the project, whereas the OP has perhaps made many useful contributions, and the maintainers who have thought about it before certainly have.
