It's indeed a big regression since 2.6 !!!
gimp would be useless for me without being able to use my wacom Intuos
device...

There's a need to modify the update policy so that Gimp 3.0 may be
proposed as update for Mageia2 as soon as possible !!!

Or the the need to downgrade to gimp 2.6 for Mageia 2 !

(I don't think it's possible to provide gimp 2.6 and gimp 2.8 side by side)
