GIMP Portable is the full-featured GIMP image and photo editor bundled with a PortableApps.com launcher as a portable app, so you can edit your photos and images on the go.

Nice work on the updates, although I'm still curious about Sudoku. Blum

I love GIMP and having it on portable apps is really a great thing.

On the other hand... updating the program also deletes ANY brushes the user might have added. When you have over 50 that were added by yourself, that is quite a blow to the gut...

Should maybe be resolved in the next update?

I wish you'd dropped a note in the forums earlier. It's a 5 second fix I just wrote the code for in the installer that I could have made a part of this release.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

No worries. I'll post it as a Rev 3 this weekend with no new announcement (just updating this one). Anyone with Rev 2 doesn't need to upgrade anyway since the only issue is with the installer.
