Figur 15.10. The ”Open Location” dialog window

The most typical schemes to open images with are:

file://

  to open an image from a local drive

  You can omit the ”file://” prefix and open images simply by putting an absolute or relative path and filename in here.

  The default base directory for relative paths depends on your operating system. It is typically `/home/<username>/` on Linux, `C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Images\` on Windows and `/Users/<username>/` on Mac OS X.

ftp://

  to open an image from a ftp server

http://

  to load an image from a website

  | Tips
  When you are visiting an Internet site, you can right-click on an image and choose ”Copy link address” in the drop-down menu. Then paste it in the ”Open Location” dialog to open it in GIMP. Even if this command makes it very easy to grab images from websites: Please respect the copyright! Images, even if published on the Internet are not always free to be used for you.
