menurc file problem with Gimp 3 - migf1 - 03-24-2025
Hey all,
I tried on Reddit yesterday but no-one replied, I hope someone can help here.
When I installed Gimp 3.0.1 along side my existing Gimp 2 installation on Windows 10, the Gimp 3 installer picked up all*rc files from my Gimp 2 installation, however when I deleted the menurc file from Gimp 3's path (a.k.a "C:\Users\...\Appdata\Roaming\Gimp\3.0") not only the keyboard shortcuts were not reset, but also the menurc file was not recreated in the above path (as it does in Gimp 2). I even tried copying another menurc file of mine, with different keyboard shortcuts, but Gimp 3 fails to read it.
In short, i'm stuck with the custom keyboard shortcuts I had in Gimp 2, and I cannot reset them in Gimp 3. Also, I'm not able to use any menurc file (I have a couple of them with different sets of custom keyboard shortcuts).
Is there any kind of cache file I need to delete or something? Is there any other path I need to look at, where Gimp 3 picks up the old menurc file from? How come it does not recreate the menurc file when I delete it?
Btw, the controllerrc file works fine (it gets recreated when I delete it, I can copy there other versions of it and Gimp 3 loads it, etc). Is there a bug specifically for the menurc file in Gimp 3?
Thanks in advance.

I got a reply on reddit, the problem is that Gimp 3 does not use the menurc file for keyboard shortcuts any more, but rather a file called shortcutsrc. So mystery solved!
Now, if I could only find a script or a tool or something that converts menurc contents to shortcutsrc format it would be awesome!
