Hello,
I would like to install Gimp 2.8 and 2.10 on the same PC, but apparently, this is not possible.
It's a shame because I want to use 2.10, which has many advantages, but some functions are still buggy in 2.10 whereas they worked correctly in 2.8.
For example:
Render Filter - Clouds works fine in 2.8
renamed in 2.10: Decoration - Fog but the plugin crashes if we modify the colors.

Best regards.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 61.0

    Hello,

    Have you tried installing, for example, a normal version and a portable version installed in a folder?
    Normally it works and we have both versions, but it is worth noting that the two versions cannot work simultaneously: you need to close one to work with the other...

      Good idea, I'll give it a try. I'll use 2.8 only for the bugs in 2.10, so it doesn't matter if I need to close 2.10 to work on 2.8.
