GIMP 2.6.8 Portable - how to allow Windows Explorer show files thumbnails/miniatures?

Submitted by ununpentium on February 23, 2010 - 6:19pm

Hello, thanks a lot for portableapps.com service.
I downloaded GIMP Portable 2.6.8. It works greatly!
Thanks to Portable Apps (.com) Windows registry is very light!

But I need some help about file browsing: when I open images folders in Windows XP SP3, Explorer doesn't show the image-miniature of the files, even if I use the "preview" option in the view menu of Explorer's window (s).

Is there any way in order to let Windows recognize the format?
A shared DLL with the appropriate Registry keys...? Or an utility? Or other?

Thanks!

GIMP 2.6.8 install too slow in XP (more than 10 minutes!)

Submitted by hgc2002 on February 20, 2010 - 8:15am

I've tried to install portable GIMP in an XP SP2, but the install process takes more than 10 minutes! (actualy I've never finished it).

Something should be hapening because I've installed some other portable appls in the same laptop without any problem.

Ideas?

Regards,
Herman

Submitted by Maggy on February 19, 2010 - 8:35am

As long as there's no picture open in Gimp, there's a rat constantly peeping at me over the edge of the window. Is there any way to get rid of this rodent?

Python support?

Submitted by nicolleen on February 11, 2010 - 3:00pm

Hi,

I'm only a user and don't know enough about programming. I keep coming across Python support needed for several plugins, now there seems to be a handful of portable python versions (pythonportable and portable python and 2.5.4 and 2.6 and 3.x ...) which I installed but I wasn't successful any further or don't know how to. Now I found this thread http://portableapps.com/node/16283 and I would like to know if this is still the case (even with portable python) or if there is a way of python support for GIMP portable and how to achieve this for non-experts.

thanks
niki

Small 2.6.8 Script-Fu Bug

Submitted by pbr on January 10, 2010 - 12:26pm

At the risk of raising my dork quotient to prodigious heights — I'm not a programmer — I believe I've found a minor oopsy in the PA edition of 2.6.8, specifically the script-fu-compat.init file buried in the scripts folder. (That's the one that "provides some compatibility with scripts that were originally written for use with the older SIOD based Script-Fu plug-in of GIMP.") To cut to the chase, the version that ships with the portable version doesn't work (deprecated scripts produce syntax error messages and crash) while the desktop version does.
