I have installed the latest version of gimp. When I open the program the toolbox opens, but there is no toolbar with file or edit to enable me to open any picture files.
Not in the toolbar
Command to open file are in Image window as File/open or File/new
You may even drag a image in the image windows to open it
Ah..the image window now may be even empty, you may call even No-image windows anyway is hard to miss
There are all menus, included that on the Toolbox in previous versions
not tool bar
