GIMP Portable Background Window 2.1.3 and Photoshop Layout

GIMP Portable Extras ScreenshotTwo extras that enhance GIMP Portable are also available: GIMP Portable Photoshop Layout and GIMP Portable Background Window. The Photoshop Layout add-on adjusts GIMP's dock/toolbox to more closely approximate the layout of Adobe Photoshop. The Background Window plugin allows GIMP to occupy a single window. The background plugin does contain known bugs and is unsupported but should still be useful to many users.

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format

i have installed the Portable background window. it still runs as a separate window i thought it would be more like a main window with all the other windows in it. not separate from it.

any ideas how to modify it

I've only ever seen The Gimp come with separate windows, and the little I've used it, has been like that. I don't remember seeing anything about single-window gimps before.

Have you noticed editing is always needed for the inevitable typos that weren't there when you hit the "post" button?
