[Gimp-user] Two Gimp environment questions

[DJ]

Hi Gimp-user,

* One *

I was just trying things out and noticed some errors when I start Gimp
from the Linux command line.  They don't seem to be causing any
problems, but I was wondering if anyone knew what they were.

If I take one for example, "/././.gimp-2.6/patterns/". This directory
is in Gimp's Preferences.  I see the patterns in the Pattern Dialog. I
can open up the patterns from Gimp's File Dialog. So why the "fail to
load"? HHMmm... :-)

* Messages *
GIMP-Error: Failed to load data:
Image file '/././.gimp-2.6/patterns/extras' contains no data

GIMP-Error: Failed to load data:
Fatal parse error in palette file '/././.gimp-2.6/palettes/gps': Read
error in line 1.

GIMP-Error: Failed to load data:

Read error in line 1


* Two *

Awhile back, I installed the FX-Foundry. I was looking at the Gimp
Registry and noticed there seemed to be some duplication. For example,
Quick Sketch.

In FX-Foundry, the name is: phillips-quick-sketch.scm
Last update according to internal comments: 9/9/2007

In Gimp-Registry, the name is: quick-sketch_0.scm
Last update according to internal comments: 2/9/2009
The changes made by a different person than the originator.

Should I expect to see duplication between FX-Foundry and the Gimp
Registry? The Gimp Registry is the "official" add-on location,
correct?

Thank you.
