By the way you left out Simones version but hers doesnt work either in any case.Im sure Lyle is on target with his statement.it is definitely something to do with Sierra I feel.I can no longer use GIMP with as much success I have been doing for a very long time.My friend, who sadly died just before Christmas from Motor Neurone Disease had the same problem after upgrading to Sierra.
Gimp 2.8 Mac Users WayI joined this forum in 2011 and learned a lot about GIMP with the help of its members and have written a couple of tutorials for Mac users way back then, so I guess that puts me in a higher than average user, but I am not high tech like some of you are.I use GIMP on a daily basis for various things, but do not have the knowledge for script writing or figuring how things work, I just do it and normally work it out. But for now I am stumped by the fact that just for starters, basic every day script will not work properly. I can line them up and get them to the point where they are ready to clock the ok button and it wont work.so I hit the return button instead.and maybe it will work, maybe not. Then I can access GMIC, and the main lost will appear but try to scroll.isnt happening.not to mention the drop down arrows dont work, ok buttons dont work, (on a lot of things most of the time). I can see where the problem lies and I am sure its the Sierra OS and I am desperate for someone to take it on board and fix it.realistically speaking, the best I can do for GIMP build itself for MAC OS is GIMP 2.8.14 but I am thinking of trying to go back to GIMP 2.8.12 to see if that will fix the problem.or hopefully, someone will take on board the challenge of doing a new build for Mac users of GIMP. Just putting it out there to see if someone can help with this. I am pretty sure a new build of GIMP for Mac users would do the trick. As it happens the script still works but is buggy and often causes GIMP to crash.maybe try cleaning the registry.

Its a bit different and the computer is as clean as a whistle. Well, Sierra has been so locked down that Ive mentioned several times that we need to stop supporting those that use Sierra unless we are actually given tools to do so. Apples gone completely control freak crazy nearly making their OS unusable. Unfortunately for me, the problem still exists even using the latest build by Simone. Gimp 2.8 Windows 7 Virtual MachineI have tried getting the GIMP working as I like it using my virtual PC with a version of Linux but it just does not sit right on the screen and so I am now thinking of maybe trying it on the Windows 7 virtual machine which supports PSP, so I am thinking I might get happy with GIMP on that. I will however need a bit of help getting all the filters and scripts etc in the right places. I have never used Mac OS X - its just a suggestion: Did you try the latest version of Gimp 2.8.20 Four installation methods: 1. Native build 2. Macports 3. Homebrew 4. Fink McGimp 2.9.5 I appreciate the comments but I have done some of those you mention and am sifting through and hopefully will find one that actually works. I know all the places to get them but value your input just the same.
