New pattern problem - ChrisO - 04-30-2019
Patterns saved to AppData>Roaming>GIMP>2.10>patterns - aren't available to use. Have tried closing/restarting Gimp and rebooting my laptop but still no luck - yet if I look in Edit>Preferences>Folders>Patterns the .pat file I copied to the correct save location folder is there...
Any suggestions?

Is it a Gimp pattern or a PS pattern?IIRC the PS ones cannot be used directly. You can however open them as images and save them as Gimp patterns.

No - it's a pattern I made... but another thing I find strange is that when I try to export the image from within Gimp - the file tree doesn't show the AppData folder - meaning I can't select that folder as it doesn't appear to be there... but the path is valid in Windows Explorer so I know it exists.

The name used in the patterns dialogue could be different from the file name you used. So perhaps the pattern is there, but with a different name so you missed it. The name could be something like "Created with Gimp".

It is a linux legacy for you (un)lucky Windows users
In the File export dialogue, right click and enable Show Hidden Files
