(GIMP 2.2 portable, on Win XP Pro, SP2)
Maybe I'm not coming up with the right search terms, but I can't find any information that helps, either in this forum or in the online documentation...
I intended to use GIMP the same way I use Photoshop, as an output option for SnagIt screen captures. But it won't let me: "Another instance of GIMP is already running, Please close other instances pf GIMP before launching GIMP portable." (Of course, I get this same message when I try to open a file I've associated to GIMP when there's an image already open.) This means I'd have to shut down GIMP and reload it for every screen capture, which would be a slow way to work when several captures are needed in succession.
What I'd like to know is whether there's a way to run more than one instance of GIMP or to open more than one image in the same instance, without having to go through File>Open. I couldn't find anything in the Preferences that would appear to control this and, as noted above, I can't find any help or information that pertains to this.
But I also find it difficult to believe that no one else had asked this question, if there's no information on it to be found. --- Meaning, it apparently is not a problem for other people... is it?
