Packaging error on my part. I've posted revision 2 to correct it. Sorry about that.

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

after deleting about a hundred langfiles of total 50MB to keep the one de locale.
I wonder if there could be an installer GUI checkbox like "only system default lang support" , so I don´t have to install all the langfiles, but only the system default one?

I just tried downloading the new GIMP 2.4.5 Revision 2 version and realized the download finished in a second. I'm using FireFox, so I'm a little uncertain about it all. I just checked the file size and it is 22KB, according to Windows Explorer's Detail mode. Is it supposed to be that small?

How did you start the download, precisely ?

happened to me, but that is common on sourceforge downloads now, specially using firefox... just download it again, but change the mirror...

If someone can verify that it's genuinely borked on a mirror, I'll repost it to SourceForge over the weekend when it's less busy. I hate when this happens.

Just downloaded, no problems.

I followed the link from this page to the GIMP Portable home page, clicked on the red Download link, which took me to the SourceForge downloading page. I live in Australia, so SourceForge seems to know that my nearest mirror was in Sydney, Australia. I waited for the dialogue box to come up asking me where to save the file and I told it where to put the file and clicked Save. I have the Firefox extension that has the downloads in a tab and it took less then a second to download. I didn't right-click or anything.

I'll re-upload it tomorrow to ensure all the mirrors have it right.

The OptusNet mirror sucks balls. It goes down frequently.

update went flawlessly. Leaves nothing behind except for a fontconfig folder in my temp dir but I guess with the new Platform-beta, this wont be an issue any more Smile

Thanks for the update.
2.4.4 kept crashing on exit, but 2.4.5 doesn't!

I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.

Is there a way to open the portable Gimp in one window?
modification of "GIMP deweirdifier" or something else?

~~ 2 ~~
and just to BUMP a question that asked above:

after deleting about a hundred langfiles of total 50MB to keep the one de locale.
I wonder if there could be an installer GUI checkbox like "only system default lang support", 
so I don´t have to install all the langfiles, but only the system default one?

(https://portableapps.com/news/2008-03-07_-_gimp_portable_2.4.5#comment-6...)

well, I'm need the the exact opposite since my system default language is RTL language and Gimp's GUI look very bad in RTL, my suggestion is to make a section in the installer that will enable to choose which languages to install.
is this possible?

thanks, dber

As always, support requests belong in the support forum, not as comments in a news story.

Just curious why you don't move it to the support forum for the poster and leave a note here that you have done so, this happens in other forums I visit.

It's a comment, not a post. They are two different things in terms of the software running this site.

Once the original poster replies or posts in the forums, I'll just remove this part of the thread.

A comment has a post as a parent, whereas a post has a forum as it's parent. In phpBB forums and the like, you can split comments into their own topics, however Drupal doesn't let you do that.
