Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

Just downlaoded the latest portable version again for testing before posting this.
From: https://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/gimp_portable
I was trying to use Batcher, a python written addon, updated for GIMP 3 already. And installing it won't show up in the portable version but will show up in the installed version. Tried couple times.
I looked up the plug-in browser of each version and screenshoted each but can't upload here, sadly.

ExifToolGUI resets its UI’s language to 'English US', even if the platform is correctly configured and/or the ExifToolGUIPortableSettings.ini file is edited.

Windows 7 x64. Fresh & upgraded installations. Run via the Platform or not.

How to reproduce:

• Install your app on a 64-bit system (tested on Win 7).
• Uncheck the 'Include 32-bit Support' checkbox.
• Run the app (Language of the platform/app must be different from ENG US).

How to bypass the bug:

I've already enabled "close apps on windows exit" setting but it still happened, this has happened for 5 times now. I think it's caused by opening two krita instances as well as shutting down while Krita is open..

I recently downloaded the portable version of GIMP 3.0.4. I haven't tested it extensively, but have noticed that Nik Plugins don't work. I use the python script found at https://github.com/iiey/nikgimp/blob/main/nikplugin.py.

When trying to launch xnconvert to convert PDF to png, xnconvert needs to use Ghostscript. However, using the PortableApps version of both apps on the same drive, xnconvert doesn't seem to find Ghostscript. A trace with Process Monitor shows...
PATH NOT FOUND
C:\Program Files (x86)\bitfarm-Archiv\gs10.04.0\bin\gsdll64.dll

For some reason it keeps trying to get gsdll64.dll in the above directory, instead of %PAL:PortableAppsDir%\CommonFiles\Ghostscript\App\

Is this a bug in the PortableApps implementation or a bug in xnconvert?

Hi, thanks for all your work on this and the whole platform.

One thing I often have trouble with is that when apps have the ability to add plugins, there's no info on how or where to install them. I think this info should be added to the apps download page.

Where exactly do I put all my Paint.net plugins folders "Effects" and "FileTypes"? I've tried everywhere within the root and all created sub-folders of "Data" but nothing works. Are plugins even supported?

Thanks

Win10Pro 22H2 64-bit; NET (full & client) 4.8.09037; PAC 30.0.2; '64-Bit Only' = Auto; 'Include 32-Bit Support' = Auto.
'English' selected as ocr language and downloaded.

Whether or not ocr is conducted pre-emptively I always see a File Not Found error for a temporary .hocr file when ocr attempted.

Example filename: D:\PortableApps\NAPS2Portable\App\NAPS2\Data\temp\oj2ozgxl.blc.hocr so not extravagantly deep.

That 'temp' directory exists when NAPS2 is running but contains only a .jpg file when ocr is attempted.

Hi, just checking if I'm missing something, but ShareX was updated to 17.0.0 in Jan-2025, and I can't seem to find this update on Portable Apps. has the related PortableApp been updated?

Changelog: https://getsharex.com/changelog#v17.0.0

Download link: https://getsharex.com/downloads

The VLC app lists an "updated" date of 2025-06-016 in the New Portable Apps install Dialog window. Current date is Feb 2025

All the other apps in the list show past dates in the column. I was attempting to install new apps based on Apps "recently updated".

I made a calendar python script
in install version, it only take 2 minutes to output whole year
but in GIMP 2.10.38 portable version, it take nearly 5 minutes

If you want to test this script, you can download here
