Gimp Adding Scripts, Fonts, Plug-ins

*Ha, I'm back to Partha's portable. Recent upgrade broke some stuff I use. Run Partha once and it setup up preferences folders.

Portable Gimp adds a "portable" folder to add scripts, fonts and plug-ins.
Installed Gimp does not. Those folders are deeper in the program.

I add a fold in the main Gimp folder called "whatever you want" and add scripts, fonts and plug-ins subfolders. I place my additions in those folders.

In Gimp go to preferences, folders and add those folders.

Installed Gimp is easier to upgrade than portable and I'm leaning toward using the installed version.

Folder Setup
preferences
- scripts
- fonts
- plug-ins

Place the preferences folder in the Gimp root folder
Open Gimp>Preferences>Folders and add the folder paths to Gimp

Keep the Preferences folder in the cloud for future setups.
