Hi, rich. The problem seem to be downloading the packs from Texture Mate. When I unzip them, the brushes are not there (just the preview jpg and the single ABR file)
So I went to Deviant Art instead and downloaded some of their packs. When I unzip these, the brushes are there as expected. I simply dragged them into my GIMP's brush folder and they are now there when I launch GIMP.
Although having read your post again, I think you're saying I should have dragged the single ABR file into GIMP's brushes folder and it would have added the brushes? Yes?
