Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

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.)

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.

Just downlaoded the latest portable version again for testing before posting this.

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.
