Paint.NET

I use Paint.NET beacuse its easyer to use than GIMP and it has more features,and was wondering if it could be made into a portable app. Link to website for people that want to know more: http://www.getpaint.net/

.Net

It's called Paint.NET because it uses .NET
Unfortunately .NET is a no no because it is not portable and not everyone has it Sad

not to offend, but it is

not to offend, but it is totally wrong to say ".NET is a no no because it is not portable"

with http://www.thinstall.com/, .net program can be portable very well, however there is no free/open software like Thinsatll avalible, which is a bad news

Not only that

I am sorry to say this to you, but it would be a no anyway even if there was a way to make .NET Portable.

Due to its license, it is illegal to redistribute it and/or modify it (that's why Paint.Net authors no longer include the .NET installer with the app).

So, even if there was an OpenSource Thinstall like program, it would not be possible to us to portabilize .NET or else we would have MS trying to kill this project.

Our best shot is to hope that MonoPaint (Paint.Net derivate that uses the Mono framework instead of .NET, made by Miguel de Icaza) also comes out for Windows, and if not, that there is someone that has knowledge enough to port it to Windows (what is highly unlikely). Sad

Blue is everything.

Have you tried Artweaver?

It's also a simple program to use, and the author offers a "portable" version in a zip file. I've played with it, it's pretty nice, but I don't know if it writes anything permanent to the registry or filesystem.

Artweaver

Thanks for the heads up on Artweaver, neat program. Only leaves one file in Prefetch, nothing in the registry (the portable zipped version that is). You can't however install the plug-ins to the portable install though.

Yeah, the plugin pack wants an INSTALL of Artweaver, but

I think I saw in the Artweaver forums that was pointed out to the developer. I hope that the developer will remediate this.
(I extracted the plugin pack exe using innounp, and copied the files into their respective folders - they seem to work fine)
