Gimp 2.4.4 running from a locked usb-stick --> "error" messageSubmitted by peter_g on February 22, 2008 - 3:28pm.
I was trying to run GimpPortable 2.4.4 from a locked usb-stick. First I have installed it on my harddrive, I have run it once and then I have copied it to the usb-stick. After locking the usb drive, I ahve started it.

Where in the menu will I find that ?
Open your GIMP Prefs at the
Open your GIMP Prefs
at the bottom of the lefthanded list is "Folders"
click on that and the Tmp and Swap items are shown on the right side of the window.
swap folder by default is in: PortableApps\GIMP\GIMPPortable\Data\settings
change it to where ever you think is a good place.
