xubuntu 18-04 - revert to GIMP 2.8, - URGENT
#1
Hi !  Using xubuntu 18.04, my system today had suddenly upgraded to GIMP 2.1x

I'm mostly using GIMP to cut, scale and save images for my web page, and using the save for web pluging  all the time for evry image.   It seems that the savee for web plugin is not  supported under GIMP 2.1x.
Yes, I know that you can do the same operations with other tools, but it is far more work intensive and without the "save for web " plugin, I will have to eiter abandon gimp, or revert to previous gimp 2.8x version.

If you are an artist, the "save for web" pluging might not be vert important, but for me, using gimp for preparing images for my websigte, it is the most important feature.

After reading the forum, it seems that no one plans for making the save for web plugin work under 2.1x ??
so my question is: how to revert to the latest Gimp 2.8x and the save for web when running Xubuntu 18.04 and prevent gimp to be upgraded to never versions in the future ?

Just now, i dont have time to wait for somone fixing the save for web plugin under 2.1x so I need my 2.8x running asain ASAP  :-)
