#GIMPSHOP INSERT TEXT SOFTWARE#
It has been five years, the software has stagnated (due in no small part to my becoming discouraged by this one profiteer who trumped me, stole much of my traffic and bumped my site down to the second result when you search for "Gimpshop"). I questioned his motives and he said he was just a fan and that the site was a "fan-site". I asked that the owner stop hot-linking my files (and draining my bandwidth), so he hosted them somewhere else. Soon, there were donate buttons, my name in the site's title and much more - making it look like my website. Not more than a few days after the OS X version was released and spread virally, someone who isn't me bought "", put up a site with hot-links to the files on my site and began advertising -LOTS of advertising.
#GIMPSHOP INSERT TEXT UPDATE#
Due to pending concerns over rights to the GIMPshop name, and a dispute with the individual who purchased the domain, plans for an update are on hold. In order to maintain usability, some users have taken to manually updating GIMPshop's libraries themselves. GIMPshop was based on the old GIMP 2.2.11, and is not current with the latest GIMP codebase. It has also been ported to Windows, Linux, and Solaris.

#GIMPSHOP INSERT TEXT FOR MAC OS X#
GIMPshop was originally developed for Mac OS X and is a Universal Binary. He encountered resistance from GIMP's lead developers due to the methods he employed to implement his hacks. GIMPshop was created by Scott Moschella of Next New Networks. GIMPshop hasn't been updated for years and is based on older code and libraries.Īccording to Wikipedia in regards to GIMPshop: There are several sites that are providing the GIMPshop bundled with unwanted software in their installer. Depending on the options available for downloading, separate versions may be available from GIMPshop depending on the target system architecture.GIMPshop IS NOT the GIMP and neither is it a product of the GIMP Team.
