5 gimprc \- gimp configuration file
9 file is a configuration file read by GIMP when it starts up. There
10 are two of these: one system-wide one stored in
11 @gimpsysconfdir@/gimprc and a per-user @manpage_gimpdir@/gimprc
12 which may override system settings.
14 Comments are introduced by a hash sign (#), and continue until the end
15 of the line. Blank lines are ignored.
19 file associates values with properties. These properties may be set
20 by lisp-like assignments of the form:
22 \f3(\f2property\-name\ value\f3)\f1
27 is one of the property names described below.
30 is the value the property is to be set to.
33 Either spaces or tabs may be used to separate the name from the value.
36 Valid properties and their default values are:
39 (temp-path "${gimp_dir}/tmp")
41 Sets the folder for temporary storage. Files will appear here during the
42 course of running GIMP. Most files will disappear when GIMP exits, but some
43 files are likely to remain, so it is best if this folder not be one that is
44 shared by other users. This is a single folder.
47 (swap-path "${gimp_dir}")
49 Sets the swap file location. GIMP uses a tile based memory allocation scheme.
50 The swap file is used to quickly and easily swap tiles out to disk and back
51 in. Be aware that the swap file can easily get very large if GIMP is used with
52 large images. Also, things can get horribly slow if the swap file is created
53 on a folder that is mounted over NFS. For these reasons, it may be desirable
54 to put your swap file in "/tmp". This is a single folder.
59 Sets how many threads GIMP should use for operations that support it. This is
65 When the amount of pixel data exceeds this limit, GIMP will start to swap
66 tiles to disk. This is a lot slower but it makes it possible to work on
67 images that wouldn't fit into memory otherwise. If you have a lot of RAM, you
68 may want to set this to a higher value. The integer size can contain a suffix
69 of 'B', 'K', 'M' or 'G' which makes GIMP interpret the size as being specified
70 in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes. If no suffix is specified the
71 size defaults to being specified in kilobytes.
76 When enabled, uses OpenCL for some operations. Possible values are yes and
81 Specifies the language to use for the user interface. This is a string value.
84 (interpolation-type cubic)
86 Sets the level of interpolation used for scaling and other transformations.
87 Possible values are none, linear, cubic, nohalo and lohalo.
90 (default-threshold 15)
92 Tools such as fuzzy-select and bucket fill find regions based on a seed-fill
93 algorithm. The seed fill starts at the initially selected pixel and
94 progresses in all directions until the difference of pixel intensity from the
95 original is greater than a specified threshold. This value represents the
96 default threshold. This is an integer value.
