darktable update breaks the scripts manager

Submitted by mmjoshi on April 9, 2026 - 10:46am

I upgraded to darktable 5.4.1 from 5.4.0. In the 5.4.0 version the scripts manager would load when the application was opened. However, this doesn't happen with the 5.4.1 version.

I am including the links to the to the images which will explain the situation better.

Gimp 3.2.0 Portable - Plugins not Working

Submitted by ak2yny on April 2, 2026 - 8:10am

Non-default plugins don't show up, no matter what folder they're added to. It seems like a change in GIMP is responsible. It does work when GIMP is installed with the official installer, though (i.e. if I add the plugins to AppData/Roaming/GIMP/3.2/plug-ins). I also noticed that the plugin names appear on the splash screen, when GIMP is loading. I haven't been using earlier GIMP 3 versions from PortableApps.com, but I used samjcreations' v 3.0.2 (where it was working). As far as I can see, the 3.0.4 fix is included in GIMP 3.2.0 Portable, as seen in:

darktablePortable update not detected

Submitted by Rando3554 on February 1, 2026 - 7:02am

I've been eagerly checking for the darktable update via the PortableApps interface and nothing had been showing for quite some time. Yesterday I decided to check the darktable webpage on the PortableApps.com site and lo and behold there was an update (version 5.4) from the end of December.

This is the only app I know of (so far) where an update wasn't detected.

Anyway, I got the update so I'm a happy camper now, but I thought I'd report the issue.

GIMP 3.0.6 (revision 1) Python-Fu - my scripts do not appear in GIMP menus.
I'm running it on a Windows 10 laptop, with all updates available up to the end of service date.

(Thanks, John T. Haller -- and everyone else who works on these projects, making great stuff available!!! John, I see your name all over, and in particular for the PortableGIMP project, so that's why I'm thanking you by name.)

Older portable versions of Faststone graphics viewer?

Submitted by prr on November 20, 2025 - 10:51am

Does anyone have the files for Faststone Graphics viewer, from the 6.x or 5.x series? I suppose even the 4.x would be ok too.

I like to have multiple instances of Faststone running on my laptop at the same time, and I have found that when I try to open up two from the same version number (such as 7.9 and 7.5 at the same time), the second one I click on doesn't work (it doesn't open up a new instance of faststone). I currently have on my thumb drive 8.1 and 7.9. I would like one from the 6.x series, and also if available, at least one from the 5.x or 4.x series as well.

[Fixed] Python plugins not working in GIMP Portable 3.0.4

Submitted by Taccess0 on July 17, 2025 - 1:58am

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:
