- The preferences dialog can be accessed from the Toolbox menu, as
- <span class="guimenu">File</span>-><span class="guimenuitem"><span class="accel">P</span>references</span>.
- It lets you customize many aspects of the way
- GIMP works. The following sections detail the settings that you
- can customize, and what they affect. This information applies
- specifically to Gimp 2.2, but the settings for Gimp 2.0 are
- similar enough that you should be able to understand them
- based on the explanations here.
- </p>
- <p>
- All of the Preferences information is stored in a file called
- <tt class="filename">gimprc</tt> in your personal GIMP directory, so
- if you are a "power user" who would rather work with a text
- editor than a graphical interface, you can alter preferences by
- editing that file. If you do, and you are on a Linux system,
- then <span><b class="command">man gimprc</b></span> will give you a lot of
- technical information about the contents of the file and what
- they are used for.
