    Cool one of the bugs I reported was fixed!!

    By the way I've just installed GIMP 2.6.2 in Windows and I've noticed some changes in how GIMP manages the windows (tools, main and layers) it seems that the main window is always behind the tools and layers windows. I think the main window should be at the top always, so I hope that could be fixed.

    no, thats not a bug - its a feature. you can simply hide/unhide the toolboxes by usign the TAB-key.

    Thanks devvv! The TAB key is what I was missing

    I have searched everywhere but cant get the answer. How do I install Gimp Patch 2.6.2. I have downloaded the patch but cant figure how to install it.

  6. alexmm93, 05 Nov 2008 07:59 AM

    I have Gimp 2.6.1 installed and downloaded Patch 2.6.2. How do I install the patch. Please help.

    Which operating system do you use? Why don't you just go to "Downloads" and download GIMP 2.6.2
