Kewl I got it to work, now like I was sayin' how can I make/convert textures from PNG files???
also how can I change the memory allocation of gimp??? Currently some of my images gimp will lag really bad when I'm trying to do somethin' to it. Yes the rest of my computer works fine, just gimp lags, and a few times it has given me a "you will bypass the memory allocation if you do this".
Hia Heathen-
If you only need a temporary texture, just load up the png , select all and copy it to the clipboard. Anything in the clipboard is available as a texture.
If you want to always have it available, just take the selection and Edit->Paste as->New Pattern
If you want to convert a bunch of files at once, ask nice and I'll script it for you...
EDIT: And the memory settings are in the preferences under environment:

Besides, I am in an awfully rep-full mood today, and since you only have 7 to go to get your third block, I am ready(only +2 for now) to do my part to help you reach that goal.

@heathen - No problem... under gimp 2.4 it is under the "toolbox dialog" File->Preferences. Under gimp 2.6 it is in the main window under Edit->Preferences.
@jfrazierjr - See Here

ya I saw it, now I got like a gang load of textures/tiles and stuff I want to use, what's the quickest way to convert???? I know you said you could create a script but this is like alot of textures....
I'll tell you - here is how I use my textures (all png files). I don't import them all, cause gimp has no decent way to group them into folders, etc. There is a python brush manager I use and I have been tempted to extend it to also be a pattern manager, but find the following workflow is more convenient for me...
I have gimp open, and I'm working on a drawing. I also keep faststone image viewer running, sitting in my textures root directory. All my textures are ordered in a directory like this:
-BASIC (contains textures I use often)
-MANMADE
--BRICK
--MARBLE
--METAL
--SEWER
--STONE
--TILES
--WOOD
-NATURAL
--DIRT
--GRASS
--STONE
--VEGETATION
--COVER
--WATER
--WINTER
-TERRAIN (larger scale, the others are all battlemap scale)
-PHOTOREALISTIC (photos I have taken/rendered that usually aren't seamless tiles yet)
I just copy (ctrl-C) from the faststone image browser (preview window, not the thumbnail list!) and then go into gimp and paste (ctrl-v) then cut (ctrl-x). This leave me with the pattern in the gimp clipboard and I can just use it as a fill.
If I want it as a pattern for a while, after this I just Edit->Paste as->New Pattern.
