Further to the #newComputer setup process, I've got all my files onto new machine, and the backups are running smoothly. Yay.

Working my way through apps and often getting newer versions in the process. Preference and theme export/import from old machine is not always clear of user friendly, but I'm getting there.

I was terrified to install the new #Blender (5.01) I've been using v2.93 for fear of new nasty learning curves, or broken workflows.

Turns out it's gone smoothly. One weird minor UI element (with "select all") but otherwise a big sigh of relief.

Weird that exporting a personalized theme involves digging an XML file out of the depths of your disk, yet there's a simple "import" button to pull it in. lol

Did a #Gimp install, which gave me version 3.08. The open file dialog seems to be terrifically buggy. Whew!

It opens an easy-to-find file okay, but try to customize it and it's rather messed up.

I'll have to go file some bug reports when I get through this.

Interesting - same open-file dialog bugs in GIMP appear in Inkscape too.

The bookmarks (favourites) behave strangely. Adding to them and attempting to drag puts one of them way off the window hanging off the corner of your display and inaccessible.
