Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

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
GIMP: 製作年曆，含農曆，節氣，假期顯示

Last version 2.51.7 Aug 26 2024 on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

It doesn't save any customizations, such as language or additional buttons on the toolbar, it applies them but when you next restart the program they return to default

Any ideas?

Thanks

On your Paint.Net download page, it says that Paint.Net 5.0.13 requires Windows x64.

However in the system requirements section, it suggests that it will work with Windows 7 (with platform update).

System Requirements: Windows 10, 11 (64-bit Only)
(Windows 7 [with Platform Update], 8.1, 10 (32-bit): 4.3.12)

Hi
The portable version of ExifToolGUI does't pass the command line parameters to the executable (eg folder name or file name).
Hope it can be fixed
