Will have to wait until after I get home for the day (probably around 9-9:30 ET tonight)... Don't have access to my personal laptop here at work...
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

Okay, so I used IDLE to edit the gurm.py file, and Notepad to edit gurm.ini.
The third line of the py file reads:
GURMINI = "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gurm.ini"
which references the folder that both the gurm py and ini files are located in.
The ini file has lines written up like the following:
gimpPath = C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes
userPath = C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes
which is the default brush folder for GIMP on my install. The other gurm managers reference the default folders of their respective resources in the same manner.
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

For what it is worth, here is my gurm.ini:
and I've added that directory to my preferences for all resources (here is my brushes preference):Code:[Brush Manager] useManager = yes gimpPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Brushes\ACTIVE_DIR userPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Brushes\INSTALL_DIR extensions = .gbr,.vbr,.gih,.abr, installedOptions = [Gradient Manager] useManager = yes gimpPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Gradients\ACTIVE_DIR userPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Gradients\INSTALL_DIR extensions = .ggr,.svg, installedOptions = Terrain, [Palette Manager] useManager = yes gimpPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Palettes\ACTIVE_DIR userPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Palettes\INSTALL_DIR extensions = .gpl, installedOptions = [Pattern Manager] useManager = yes gimpPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Patterns\ACTIVE_DIR userPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Patterns\INSTALL_DIR extensions = .pat,.jpg,.png,.tiff,.bmp,.gif, installedOptions = roofs, [Script Manager] useManager = no gimpPath = C:\Documents and Settings\838453\.gimp-2.6\scripts userPath = <Your Path> extensions = .scm, installedOptions = [Read this] ; Please do not edit anything manually in here except for "gimpPath" and "userPath" ; which have to be set manuall and the useManager field if you want to use the ; manager. ; For more details please read the readme file.
BTW, Gimp is installed under PF, not "Program Files" on my system. I have blacked out my login name, yours should be there by the default install.

That is why I did mine the way I did.
userPath - defines the folder that GURM will look it to build its list, using each subfolder within that one as one check box.gimpPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Patterns\ACTIVE_DIR
userPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Patterns\INSTALL_DIR
gimpPath - defines where the plugin will copy to/delete from when a folder is toggled in GURM.
I added my specified gimpPath(s) to my gimp preferences, SEPARATE from the default "documents and settings/user/.gimp/..." paths. This means that if I create a new pattern (using paste to pattern) or gradient or brush, the go in my "/documents and settings/user/.gimp/whatever/" directory, and stay separate from the resources GURM is moving in and out.

Hm.... Interesting.
So basically, if I follow right, what GURM is doing (which I haven't had a chance to see in action yet) is making certain folders of resources - brushes, patterns, etc. - visible or invisible to GIMP without having to restart GIMP each time... keeping the various tool palettes clean and easy to scroll through to find the resource you need. Is that about right?
And I guess this only really works if you store the resources in an outside folder. That makes sense.

Yes and no. What it does is to Copy the contents of the selected folders(which GIMP does not know about) into a folder that GIMP does know about and then tells GIMP to "refresh". When you uncheck a folder in GURM, it looks at the contents in the original folder and deletes the copy in the folder GIMP knows about and then refreshes.

Yeah, that's what I meant in "Simplese". Basically, "making visible to GIMP" was simplese for "Copy the contents of the folder GURM is managing into a folder that GIMP is aware of".
Thanks for clarifying!

@Karro - you got it now!
The whole exercise is because brushes, patterns, palettes, gradients, etc. all display in one big list and can't be categorized in gimp....
BUT, the next version of gimp will have searchable tagging for everything, afaik, so if you spent the time tagging (for example) all brushes, you could filter the brush list by typing in the filter box that will be provided.

Help! GURM won't go away! I placed in to my ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/ and deleted it recently, but it's still available under Filters -> GURM. Whats wrong?
