Every time I right click on an image to open it in GIMP, its opens in a new GIMP instead of opening a new window in the already opened one. If I open 5 images, it will open 5 separate GIMPs. This takes a lot of time as GIMP takes time to start (at least on my machine).
Earlier, it would open in single GIMP. I want the same settings back.
Any idea what happened, and what to do?

Can't find that. May be it's not in the version I'm using. Will download the latest version now. Then will see what happens.
0.o I thought you had already downloaded the latest version lol. Thanks,

I did that 2 months ago.. :D
Now downloading that.
If you want to open files in the same instance of GIMP you can drag and drop the file (or an image from the internet which is very handy) straight onto the GIMP pallette and it will open it up.
See if that works for you.

I know that, but I was in a habit of doing the right click and then open it. But can't get that in same GIMP instance now.
Even in 2.4 its the same.
2.4 in itself has many new effects. I like that.

So the problem still persist.... Maybe it's the settings of your computer. I think I may know the problem (although it is unlikely). Does your computer open every file in a new window? Thanks,

No... just with GIMP.
openOffice, TextPad, FF... everyone is fine.

I should look into misc. more often, I could have helped you right away then. It's very simple: if you associate your imagefiletypes with GIMP, and you browse to the GIMP program files folder, you'll see several different executables (if you're using windows, that is, I don't know about the linux version). Two of these are gimp-<version number>.exe and gimp-win-remote.exe, you're probably trying to open with the first one, which (I think) is the executable for the main window, while the second one checks if GIMP is already running and opens in that instance, if GIMP is not running yet, it opens a new instance. I hope this solves your problem.

Oh man you really should look into misc section!!
This was it...
Actually when I right click on an image file, gimp-win-remote.exe appears in the secondary list, while this gimp-2.4.exe is in the upper list, so I never tried that.
Thank you man!

Hi,
I want to build a Web site using CSS, HTML, and PHP. I noticed that a lot of
other Web sites use a lot of graphical pictures, logos, icons, etc to give
the page a certain look. It's part of the design of the Web sites.
I wanted to know if I can use GIMP to make these same kinds of pictures to
design my Web site. Also, can GIMP do the same things as photoshop or
fireworks and such graphics software? Also, does anybody know of any...

Hello, I have a nice system where someone clicks on a picture to show the
full version. This pops up in a window.open box. It works great, the only
problem is that if the user clicks a second picture before closing the first
then the new picture loads into the original popup box which is often a
different size. How can i make them open in their own popup windows?
Thanks

2) Also if the 1) is possible is it possible to send few jpg files at the

I have a picture (jpg) displaying in a picture box but I find that the
file handle is still open to the image on disk.
I think I need the following to happen
1. Load image from file on disk
2. Copy the loaded image to another object.
3. Close the file on disk
4. Display the image in the picture box as a thumbnail.
5. Allow user to rotate image if necessary by reloading the file
