refer: http://doctormo.deviantart.com/art/Gimp-2-8-Photoshop-Tweaks-432736644
To help a fellow deviant, I've put together a download that anyone with Gimp 2.8 on Linux can use to make their copy of gimp look more like Adobe Photoshop and make people more comfortable.
I've taken various bits of guides online and various tweaks. All you have to do is download the file, unzip it. Then in the file manager go to your home folder, show hidden files, delete or move your old .gimp-2.8 configuration folder out of the way, and replace with the new one. Then load gimp. Then me know if it works for you or if it fails.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install kodi
This probably won't be needed
sudo apt-get install --install-suggests kodi
Helpful Hint
Kodi the \ is the shortcut key to toggle between fullscreen and window

Refer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/849396/uninstall-kodi-on-ubuntu-14
If you need to remove and purge an application and finally removing/purging also the application configurations files, do so by using the following commands:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get remove kodi*
$ sudo apt-get purge kodi*
Then remove the settings folder to remove all settings and library data. This will not delete any videos or music, but just the settings and library data itself:
$ rm -r ~/.kodi/
or
$ rm -r ~/.xbmc/
for older versions before 14.0
Seems fast and will create thumbs without needing to import. It's also cross-platform compatible for Windows, Mac and also Linux. Does not handle external drives very well though.
