GIMP Portable 2.8.0 Rev 5 Dev Test 1

This release has been superseded by GIMP Portable 2.8.2 which contains these fixes

I've posted a a new test build of GIMP Portable to fix a couple bugs. The bugs in question are:

This build should fix both of those issues. It also introduces the ability for GIMP Portable to detect and associated fonts in the PortableApps.com Platform on a fresh install (not upgrades) when the PA.c Platform isn't installed to the root of the drive.

Please test and report back

Fixed in 2.8.2

This file is handled by the 2.8.2 release and paths within are portablized.

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

Thanks, now everything is fine.

I wish there were an option to have the components non UPX'ed. The difference when GIMP opens is noticeable and it's a p.i.t.a to go through all the folders and decompress all exe and dll files...

AppCompactor

Use the PortableApps.com AppCompactor, select the GIMPPortable directory and select DECOMPRESS.

The plug-ins are not compressed as that slows startup. There should be no appreciable difference once running and there isn't on any of the machines I've tested on.
