Henri - - - Did you decide to send a reply both to myself and the list?  
That is what you did.



One of these days I will read the GIMP docs.  I have been using it as a 
primary image tool [not vector] for 5 or more years of Ubuntu or Mint 
Linux, with Paint Shop Pro as my default for Windows on my systems.  I 
also add GIMP to my Window system.


As for Charles post - - - YES, you have to be careful about where you 
look for and download the freeware and open source software. You never 
know what may be added to the downloads.  I always go to the "official" 
site to download most of these packages I want.  To be honest, I have a 
web page list, which I have not kept up-to-day, where I store links to 
the more common sites I tend to go to.  That way I do not have to 
remember the "exact" titles of the software I want to download and not 
need to Google then to find where to download them.  Actually, That 
whole domain web pages needs to be worked on.  So, here it the link to 
my list.  When I have time I will update it.
