[Gimp-user] How to import Photoshop .pat files?

[otherwhirl]

Hi DJ,

Thanks for responding to my post (I Love the internet...)

So I tried that, but still NOTHING. Question, It IS with the bucket fill tool
that I should be able to access the .pat files right?

I think I may have to re install, because I noticed the same thing when I try
to access filters that I have downloaded. Even the Scrypt-Fu and Python-Fu 
filters, theres nothing in them
.
