GIMP 2.8 on Ubuntu 12.04

得知 GIMP 2.8 釋出的消息凍仁就立馬當先的衝了！沒想到的是部份套件與原先的版本有衝突，在安裝失敗以後導致套件庫整個鎖住(Lock)，好在當初與 Rex 前輩討教的筆記還留著，經過一翻苦戰後終於搞定了，強烈建議想升級的伙伴先手動移除 GIMP 再試，真的是千金難買早知道啊！

2. 使用中文介面

2.1. 編輯(Edit) → 偏好設定(Preferences)。

2.2. 介面(Interface) → 系統語言(Language) → 漢語[zh_TW](Chinese[zh_TW])

2.3. 重新啟動 GIMP，切換成功後啟動訊息如上圖。

3. 切換單視窗模式

3.1. 視窗(Window) → 單一視窗模式(Single-Window Mode)

3.2. 編輯(Edit) → 偏好設定(Preferences)。

3.3. 視窗管理(Window Management) → 立即儲存視窗位置(Save Window Positions Now)。

這次多了個單視窗模式(Single-Winow Mode)可以切換，就凍仁而言是還好，畢竟原本就不是美工設計路線的，不知不覺中早習慣了原先的多視窗模式，當然凍仁可能連 GIMP 的 1/10 功能都用不到呢。
