Description: Oh yes!, can you guess/believe what that is? GIMP2Ps transforms GIMP app into a more Ps like looking app including keyboard shortcuts that many are accustomed to and rely on recognising instantly to get things done =) Maybe you have been say dreamy about that other commercial gfx app or have used it a lot in the past but have issues getting used to shortcuts in GIMP being different? Guys, gals, I'm very proud to introduce GIMP2Ps package that I created. I couldn't find mod that worked fine or didn't have some probs, I'm sharing one that will hopefully knock your socks off. Made thinking about GIMP 2.10+ compatibility. We recommend using GIMP2Ps-multi-tool for GIMP 2.10.18+
Don't forget to read ReadMe.txt, it describes how to use this.

Modern GIMP taken care of
Modern GIMP 2.10.18+ has multi tool toolbox functionality onboard, I added package named GIMP2Ps-multi-tool-1 which is an updated version of GIMP2Ps that takes that into account
Hi, you can do below:
run Terminal
search for snap GIMP's config folder, I have it in ~/snap/gimp/current/.config/GIMP/ and create link to that in ~/.config/:
ln -s ~/snap/gimp/current/.config/GIMP/ ~/.config/GIMP
create file named gimp with this in it:
#!/bin/bash
snap run gimp "$@"
save file, make it exec and move to /usr/local/bin or /bin, where it would allow to start Gimp with gimp command:
chmod a x gimp
sudo mv gimp /usr/local/bin
and use this Gimp2Ps package like you would if you had Gimp in usual location.
I haven't got into snap much, it wasn't accounted for 'snap case' when this pack was created, I installed snap Gimp having that questy question and I did that and it went ok so ya can check it although I can't say if it works everywhere, I just don't know about that, maybe running package with Gimp installed standard way and getting config folder is also some optio possible, hahmm...
Think to pling our project if you can, please.
For those that tried to install this in Windows: it is a very easy copy paste operation.
Follow these steps:
1. Install a package manager that can extract "*.tar.xz" files (I did it with 7zip)
2. Once extracted, you'll have a GIMP2Ps folder. In that folder go into the subfolder "pslook-config"
3. Open another Windows Explorer window to the folder %appdata%\gimp
4. That folder has a subfolder "2.10". make a copy of that folder if you want to backup your original GIMP settings
5. Now go into the folder "2.10"
6. Copy all files and folders from the "pslook-config" folder to the "2.10" folder
7. Start GIMP, and you'll have the GIMP2Ps layout
Yeah, I looked on my and it's also like that, it's because this pack doesn't work with Gimp not in usual location, however you may try this: install Gimp like most would (you can uninstall later) or run live Linux distro with latest Gimp, run transformation pack and you should find Gimp's config in ~/.config/GIMP that you can copy and place where your Gimp config is supposed to be. I'll probably have a look too, Gimp 2.10.18 has some new features and I might need to change something to align, although I'm busy with couple of other things now :).
It's not for dows, if someone can use it there, nice. A basic knowledge about how to run commands is necessary, it's very easy and straightforward, just looking at names after unpacking tells a lot, if you don't know how to run commands you should learn something, it wasn't made for peeps with subbasic or less knowledge, you are going to use advanced graphics editor so knowing more is also required.
Hi Marcos, I'm can't seem to get my head around installing the theme. Would you consider writing a more - beginner proof step by step ReadMe? I'm not quite sure how to proceed with the indications you already provided. Thank you, your work is appreciated.
Hey Markos! Nice job, looks clean and nice, but got some weird behaviour. When I run the script to copy the theme I can't go to fullscreen. Gimp only takes a part of the screen, there is no button that goes into fullscreen mode and when I press shift+f it only makes the window decorator disappear. Then I go to themes menu and the gimp's dark theme is selected instead of yours. When I select your theme gimp turns light (much more light than official gimp light) and the fullscreen button reappears. Then I select the gimp's dark skin and gimp turns to look the way it should be based on your pictures. I have to repeat the procedure every time I open gimp if I want to use your theme. Not a big deal indeed, but I felt like I should share it with you since you already did such a nice job. It's super erroneous behaviour, but I hope you got something from the description :) . I'm on mint 19.2 gimp 2.10.12
I checked and it doesn't seem to be so on mine, I saw maximize button disappearing although it got sorted out somehow with later dos, no errors as you wrote in settings, perhaps you upgraded in uncleanly way or have some overlapping PPAs?; I have latest Gimp using ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp. I also guess it could be because of the theme, maybe use different one than the one that comes with Mint, I'm not certain if it's written to be issue free, I's using:
Numix as window borders metacity theme
Miny-X-Aqua as controls theme,
all fine with this, I'm taking into account all the time that you use Cinnamon, no issues like you said, maybe see how some other themes cope if u don't like Numix. I updated GIMP2Ps to start GIMP maximized, that should be helpful as well.
Install fresh Mint, there's probably latest around to download as a resort to have clear situation :).
Hi Markospoko. First of all, excellent work!
Next, I have some info concerning the resize issue. I experienced it too on Ubuntu. The window resize button seems to disappear when the toolbox is too tall and its bottom falls outside of the screen. This can happen on screens where a 1-icon-wide toolbox doesn't fit the vertical size of the screen (due to its resolution). This seems to be default GIMP behaviour and is not related to your theme (I tested this with default GIMP settings too).
The fix is to resize the toolbox to 2 columns. Then it fits the screen and the window shows its resize button.
8Oh yes! indeed. Before I switched to linux I used PS relatively often and I liked it. I didn't enjoy gimp very much because I didn't want to learn all keyboardshortcuts again and so on.
Today I found this piece of art and what should I say? I'm pretty happy now. You brought the fun back to my personal gimp-experience! Thank you!

10 Not only this looks Great and is super handy, but somehow it also managed to fix Gimp (2.10.38 on debian) improving the Performance considerably..
Hey, great work! How does it work for a snap installation?
Hi, you can do below: run Terminal search for snap GIMP's config folder, I have it in ~/snap/gimp/current/.config/GIMP/ and create link to that in ~/.config/: ln -s ~/snap/gimp/current/.config/GIMP/ ~/.config/GIMP create file named gimp with this in it: #!/bin/bash snap run gimp "$@" save file, make it exec and move to /usr/local/bin or /bin, where it would allow to start Gimp with gimp command: chmod a x gimp sudo mv gimp /usr/local/bin and use this Gimp2Ps package like you would if you had Gimp in usual location.

oh crap, ugly, but I pasted same @ http://textsharing.com/599/ so text looks fine, nicer to read, more than 2 GBs Gimp snap man
OT: I couldn't reply earlier but here it is, I believe it could be some help

9 9 excellent Instructions could use a bit of a cleanup/translation but GREAT work. Thanks for this!
I had followed this guide, in case it helps anyone else: https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/make-gimp-look-like-adobe-photoshop-on-linux/
I'd like to say you will get better effect using GIMP2Ps-multi-tool-1.tar.xz instead of GIMP2Ps.tar.xz for newer GIMP.
For those that tried to install this in Windows: it is a very easy copy paste operation. Follow these steps: 1. Install a package manager that can extract "*.tar.xz" files (I did it with 7zip) 2. Once extracted, you'll have a GIMP2Ps folder. In that folder go into the subfolder "pslook-config" 3. Open another Windows Explorer window to the folder %appdata%\gimp 4. That folder has a subfolder "2.10". make a copy of that folder if you want to backup your original GIMP settings 5. Now go into the folder "2.10" 6. Copy all files and folders from the "pslook-config" folder to the "2.10" folder 7. Start GIMP, and you'll have the GIMP2Ps layout
I forgot: you'll, of course, have to download the GIMP2Ps.tar.xz package first, which you'll extract in step 2.
I'd like to note that GIMP2Ps.tar.xz is an older version, there's a newer one.
Would you be able to make your script work for Gimp fork https://glimpse-editor.org/ ?
This doesn't work with CentOS 8, Gimp 2.18 (Installed via Flatpak).
Yeah, I looked on my and it's also like that, it's because this pack doesn't work with Gimp not in usual location, however you may try this: install Gimp like most would (you can uninstall later) or run live Linux distro with latest Gimp, run transformation pack and you should find Gimp's config in ~/.config/GIMP that you can copy and place where your Gimp config is supposed to be.

Add Windows instructions to the readme. Elaborate the current Unix instructions. It doesn't say where from you should run the commands.
It's not for dows, if someone can use it there, nice. A basic knowledge about how to run commands is necessary, it's very easy and straightforward, just looking at names after unpacking tells a lot, if you don't know how to run commands you should learn something, it wasn't made for peeps with subbasic or less knowledge, you are going to use advanced graphics editor so knowing more is also required.

I've added that :)

10 Thank you so much. I finally found this. I've been looking for it for a long time. Keep up the good work, guys. <3
