Subject: ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.7.1
For not clear reasons the Windows installer of 2.7.1
force unistall of previous version of gimp
Apparently no way to skip unistall, or to cancell unistall/install process
The point is i can't see any reason to force unistall,
the 2 version create 2 different gimp folder in the user directory...and for
the rest seems run well alongside
about the question on ufraw and thor reply

reply is correct but replacing intl.dll with libintl-8.doesn't not create
problem only with ufraw
But with most, almost all "extra" plugins without intl.dll they all (except
Gmic, including Gap-2.6)
abort at loding time with error messages
Only solution i could find is adding back intl.dll,
(not renaming libintl-8, just add bact intl.dll )
Do you think may be a better solution?
Advice all plugin writers to remap all the calls to intl to libintl may be
pratical in long term to port plugins to gimp 2.8
but will not solve any of present problem
As far i could test add back that intl.dll has no practical adverse side
effects

That is correct.

Apparently somebody is claiming things without even trying the
installer.

The point is that the new installer combines 32 and 64-bit GIMP in a
common installer, and once it becomes stable, many people will be
upgrading from 32-bit GIMP 2.6 - it would make no sense for these
people to keep both GIMP 2.6 and 2.8 at the same time, so the new
installer removes the old version first. Since this functionality
needs to be tested before it's deployed in the stable installer, it's
forced in the unstable one (the uninstall will be optional, but I
haven't implemented that yet).

I didn't saw any option in the 2.7.1 installer for chose 32 or 64 bit
even if my computer support 64 bit i suppose installed, without asking the 32
bit version since all my extra plugin, that were usually not compiled to work
at 64 bit, seem working fine

Sure?
most (if not all) of third party plugin are not compiled for 64 bit but only
for 32 so many may prefer run a 32 bit gimp even if a 64 bit version could be
available
Or simple they may wish to run a stable version for work...and a beta for the
fun to test new features...

Once the uninstaller is running, there's no way to cancel it - it
wouldn't make any sense anyway, since some files are already deleted
at that time, and there's no way to bring them back. This is why the
installer displays a warning before it starts. However, since you are
apparently the third person who ignored that dialog, I guess I'll have
to bring the checkbox back.

By default, the 64-bit version installs everything needed to run
32-bit plug-ins as well (in fact, the 64-bit version always uses
32-bit TWAIN plug-in, since the 64-bit one doesn't work).
BTW, please fix your e-mail program so that it doesn't strip Re: from
subject.

One other thing I noticed about the installer is that it does not AFAICT
allow user to chose where to install but forces to:
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2.7\ (on WinXP SP3).
Was this to test some other part of the Win32/Win64 and/or Win7 business
or just oversight?
