I have been using GIMP for several years, using Win10. Recently I was forced to upgrade to Win11 on a new computer, and so far it's OK, & I'm getting used to its intrusive nature.
One of the first programs installed was GIMP, the previous version to the current new 3.2.0, and it was working normally. Today I have a time-urgent project to finish so I started up GIMP, and was greeted with the Update screen, Update to Ver 3.2.0.
This has happened frequently, and there had previously been no problem, so I had no hesitation in upgrading, installed, rebooted, and restarted, hoping to get to work.
Usually GIMP reflects the Windows file structure, directories, sub-directories and file names, each in alphabetical order respectively. This time, it was screwed! All the folders and file names were in alphabetical order but all mixed together [see screen shot.] It was impossible to work with, so I closed everything, rebooted, hoping for a rearrangement. Nada. Nope. Still screwed.
I uninstalled GIMP, re-downloaded the setup file, reinstalled, rebooted, and opened GIMP - nope, still screwed.
I'm not a programming person, I can't delve into the code and fix anything, I'm just a lowly appreciative artistic user of GIMP.
What's wrong here? Is it the new version? Or Win11? Or me?? See screen shot.
