#  reboot such as /tmp.

# Set the swap file location. The gimp uses a tile based memory
#  allocation scheme. The swap file is used to quickly and easily
#  swap files out to disk and back in. Be aware that the swap file
#  can easily get very large if the gimp is used with large images.
#  Also, things can get horribly slow if the swap file is created on 
#  a directory that is mounted over NFS.  For these reasons, it may 
#  be desirable to put your swap file in "/tmp".

# The tile cache is used to make sure the gimp doesn't thrash
#  tiles between memory and disk. Setting this value higher will
#  cause the gimp to use less swap space, but will also cause
#  the gimp to use more memory. Conversely, a smaller cache size
#  causes the gimp to use more swap space and less memory.
#  Note: the gimp will still run even if `tile-cache-size' is
#  set to 0. The actual size can contain a suffix of 'm', 'M',
#  'k', 'K', 'b' or 'B', which makes the gimp interpret the
#  size as being specified in megabytes, kilobytes and bytes
#  respectively. If no suffix is specified the size defaults to
#  being specified in kilobytes.

# Set the minimal number of colors for dithering on 8-bit displays.
#  If the GIMP cannot allocate at least this number of colors, a
#  private colormap will be allocated, resulting in colormap "flashing".
#  The default value of 144 corresponds to a "color cube" of 6*6*4 colors
#  where the 3 values stand for shades of red, green and blue.
#  Multiplying the # of shades of each primary color yields
#  the total number of colors that will be allocated for the
#  GIMP colormap.
#  This number must not exceed 256.  Most of the colors remaining after
#  the allocation of the colorcube will be left to the system palette
#  in an effort to reduce colormap "flashing".
#  Note that setting this value to something higher than 216 (6*6*6)
#  will not work with Gtk versions lower than 1.2.8.
(min-colors 144)

# Install a private GIMP colormap by default -- only for 8-bit displays
# (install-colormap)

# Specify that marching ants for selected regions will be drawn
#  with colormap cycling as oposed to redrawing with different stipple masks
#  this color cycling option works only with 8-bit displays
# (colormap-cycling)

# Tools such as fuzzy-select and bucket fill find regions based on a
#  seed-fill algorithm.  The seed fill starts at the intially selected
#  pixel and progresses in all directions until the difference of pixel
#  intensity from the original is greater than a specified threshold
#  ==> This value represents the default threshold
(default-threshold 15)

# There is always a tradeoff between memory usage and speed.  In most
#  cases, the GIMP opts for speed over memory.  However, if memory is
#  a big issue, set stingy-memory-use
# (stingy-memory-use)

# When zooming into and out of images, this option enables the
#  automatic resizing of windows
# (allow-resize-windows)

# Context-dependent cursors are cool.  They are enabled by default.

# Default units
#  This is the default unit of a new image. It will appear in the

#  The default units can be one of:
#  (inches millimeters points picas) plus those in your user units database

# Setting the level of interpolation
#  Uncommenting this line will enable cubic interpolation.
#  By default, GIMP uses linear interpolation, which is faster, but 
#  has poorer quality

# Set the gamma correction values for the display
#  1.0 corresponds to no gamma correction.  For most displays,
#  gamma correction should be set to between 2.0 and 2.6
#  Run the utility "gamma_correct" to determine appropriate values
#  for your display.
#
# One important item to keep in mind:  Many images that you might
#  get from outside sources will in all likelihood already be
#  gamma-corrected.  In these cases, the image will look washed-out
#  if the gimp has gamma-correction turned on.  If you are going
#  to work with images of this sort, turn gamma correction off
#  by removing this line, or setting the values to 1.0.

# Global paint options

# Maximal new image size
#  To prevent mistakes Gimp will warn you if you try to create a very large
#  image. The default maximum memory consumption of the new image that 
#  triggers the warning is 32MB.  
(max-new-image-size 32M)

# Trust dirty flag
#  Gimp tries to keep track of changes to an image. If you trust this
#  behaviour, nothing will happen if you save an unchanged image. By default
#  this is turned off.
#  Just uncomment the following line if you trust the dirty flag.
# (trust-dirty-flag)

# Perfect mouse tracking
#  GIMP attempts to keep up with the motion of the pointer when
#  painting, but when a painting operation is particularly CPU
#  intensive the GIMP will miss the subtlety of your painting
#  motion and render overly-angular strokes.  Enabling 'perfect
#  mouse tracking' allows GIMP to track your painting motion
#  more evenly, at the expense of lagging behind your brush at
#  times of CPU stress.
(perfect-mouse yes)

# Help browser
#  Determines which program to use as browser for the GIMP help pages.
#  Possible values are "gimp" which means the built-in help browser
