# 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. If no suffix is# specified the size defaults to being specified in kilobytes.## (tile-cache-size 1024M)# Sets the level of interpolation used for scaling and other transformations.# Possible values are none, linear, cubic and lanczos.## (interpolation-type cubic)# Sets the plug-in search path.
