Great job
Thanks 1 more time...!
Love this app !!
Thank a lot for ALL portable apps !!
I noticed a minor bug: can anybody confirm this ? ... When trying to open a file by right-clicking a file in the windows-explorer (XP), chosing "Open with..." I get an error and the file will not open... ?!
yes
The easiest way is to open Gimp first and then go to "open with" and open the file.
In the future, please dont post questions as a comment to the news story but in the Forums.
Thanks for the Gimp : )

Thanks for portable GIMP!
Please, help me. I can't find a template "clipboad" for creating new image. In older versions it was by default... But in this version it has disappeared. So, how I can find/install it?
