# This is the system-wide gimprc file. Any change made in this file will # affect all users of this system, provided that they are not overriding the # default values in their personal gimprc file. # # Lines that start with a '#' are comments. Blank lines are ignored. # # By default everything in this file is commented out. The file then # documents the default values and shows what changes are possible. # # The variable ${gimp_dir} is set to the value of the environment variable # GIMP2_DIRECTORY or, if that is not set, the compiled-in default value is # used. If GIMP2_DIRECTORY is not an absolute path, it is interpreted # relative to your home directory. # Sets the folder for temporary storage. Files will appear here during the # course of running GIMP. Most files will disappear when GIMP exits, but # some files are likely to remain, so it is best if this folder not be one # that is shared by other users. This is a single folder. # # (temp-path "${gimp_dir}/tmp") # Sets the swap file location. GIMP uses a tile based memory allocation # scheme. The swap file is used to quickly and easily swap tiles out to disk # and back in. Be aware that the swap file can easily get very large if GIMP # is used with large images. Also, things can get horribly slow if the swap # file is created on a folder that is mounted over NFS. For these reasons, # it may be desirable to put your swap file in "/tmp". This is a single # folder. # # (swap-path "${gimp_dir}") # Sets how many processors GIMP should try to use simultaneously. This is an # integer value. # # (num-processors 1) # When the amount of pixel data exceeds this limit, GIMP will start to swap # tiles to disk. This is a lot slower but it makes it possible to work on # images that wouldn't fit into memory otherwise. If you have a lot of RAM, # you may want to set this to a higher value. The integer size can contain a # suffix of 'B', 'K', 'M' or 'G' which makes GIMP interpret the size as being # specified in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes.
