I have Gimp 2.8.16 installed. I had done some pretty extensive customizing, but then didnt get to use it much due to a long illness. Today I noticed at SourceForge, a program called Gimpshop and thought I'd look at it before getting back to Gimp. After realizing it was a dead end, I decided to uninstall it. It seemed to be installed in a different location, according to right clicking on the icon properties. So I thought I would be ok.

Nope, it wrecked all the setup work I had done in Gimp. I had a recent restore point, so I did that, but to no avail. Any Help?

Thanks

Are the files in your recycle bin? Maybe you could restore them from there? On Mon, Jan 2, 2017 at 1:56 PM GimUsr999 wrote:

No, there was nothing in recycle that I could see relating to gimp. (I also looked at all the HIDDEN files that no longer had their addresses, after being deleted.) Also, if they were available, it seems that the system restore would have used them. The restore point was created just before installing gimpshop.

Thanks

Windows' System Restore only restores things like device drivers and system configuration, not user application configurations. It provides some chance of recovering if the system fails to boot properly after updating Windows or device drivers, not a complete backup of your data.

You'll need to restore the .gimp-2.8 directory in your user profile folder from a previous backup (probably one from before installing gimpshop).

Mark.
