You can drop dockable dialogs here
In this short tutorial, I will share with you about how to get rid of the annoying phrase ,”You can drop dockable dialogs here”, which will show in the tool box of Gimp if you happen to close the dockable tab.
My gimp is at version 2.6. Depending on your system, you can find respectively the “tool option” in file->dialog->tool option under MS Windows and windows->dockable dialogs->tool option under Linux.
Click the small triangle in the tool option dialog as shown in the following picture and make sure the checkbox,”lock tab to dock” is unchecked.


Then hover you mouse on the tab name which is ” Rectangle select” in this example. Left click it and hold , drop it to the lower part of tool box. Release it when that lower area changes its color.



It’s done.
