Dealing with DrivesSubmitted by willgoss on April 23, 2008 - 12:18pm.
I really like the portable version since it can be moved into drive C or used from a USB drive....Once located in Drive C, preferences set...no problem... Now the problem, for the USB disk, I copied Brushes, Scripts, Patterns, Gradients, and Plugins into the main Portable Gimp directory each in their own folders.... It is easy to then use Preferences, point to these folders and away we go....but when I plug in to another computer the Drive designation changes....I started with Drive E and on another computer, I am in rive F and I lose the pointers in Preference to the folders....is there an alternate way to add these folders.... Short of resetting the preferences....is there another solution... ( categories: )

I think
Simeon - April 24, 2008 - 9:24amgenerally its bad to change the paths as I dont know if the launcher will still update/adjust the paths correctly. But after the bug where the installer would delete any custom brushes is fixed, I think you can safely copy your brushes etc right into the standard folders.

But Plugins...
willgoss - April 26, 2008 - 12:13pmYes I can use the portable location....but....I did non see a place for plugins...do we just create one there....I guess it is worth a try....
What do you mean
Simeon - April 26, 2008 - 5:26pmby "plugins"?

Plugins
willgoss - April 27, 2008 - 12:13pmYes Gimp has plugins of it's own as well as supporting older PhotoShop plugins....
I have many but specifically use Zero, and Filters Unlimited for photo work.....
I did find the plugin folder, added my PS types along with other older Gimp plugins but after opening preference pointing to this folder for PS Plugins all worked well until moving to another computer which open PortApps in a different drive and did not load or recognize the newer plugins until I pointed at them again in Preferences...this is no good...
Scripts were also lost.....
I addition I lost Shortcuts set up and saved, it appears that if Gimp opens up without a pointer to the plugins it shuts down the shortcut, it now must be reset...this is no good....
Gimp, even in this version, continues to be a setup monster.....ahh soooo
Sorry
Simeon - April 27, 2008 - 12:27pmThen I cant help you any further. Lets hope John or someone else with more GIMP experience jumps in.
