From GIMP Developer Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

There is a need for a tool to help users migrate their tool presets from 2.6 format to the new to be 2.8 format. For this a python script has been written. It's in early beta so backup your profile before running it. Any bugs can be reported to Alexia Death at #gimp IRC channel on gimpnet or freenode.
