Can I skip the GIMP User Installation screen upon first start?

Hello

Is there any way that I may set up the GIMP on a multi user Linux machine so that when a new person logs in and runs The GIMP, they do not need to go through the "GIMP User Installation" screen to set directories etc. I would instead like these settings to be pulled from defaults that I set myself.

The reason is that inexperienced users will be using the machines and I do not want them to be encountering more screens that is required.

I have tried editing various files such as /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc but this only changes the defaults that appear for the user to accept.

What about installing one, set your preferences and everything you need, then backup the .gimp/2.0/ files ?
Then use a script to perform multiple installations at once.

AFAIK the "install" process just creates the .gimp-2.2 directory in the home directory of the user and stores some preferences files in there. You could try to make a template .gimp-2.2 directory - one which does not have any user dependencies and distribute this into the user directories of all users you want to use GIMP without "installing" it.

I would add the .gimp tree in the system skeleton ( /etc/skel/) for new users.
That way all users added will automagically get the settings..
