Is there anyway to have image windows open under the main GIMP interface window, instead of their own windows?

Is there anyway to have image windows open under the main GIMP interface window, instead of their own windows? Just like any other Windows application.

I've searched Google; and asked around on the IRC but no one has a clue.

[Fixed] gimp 2.8.6: jpg-precalculation of file-size

Hello portable-apps-team!

The latest version of GIMP, 2.8.6 ref-2, still shows the bug of the
"jpg-precalculation of file-size".

If you save an image as "jpg" a window pops up - and you are
asked what quality you want to have. In this window you can
check "precalculate jpg-file size". But this precalculation still
doesn't work. You always get a constant value "5.9 EB".

The precalculation-size is very helpful if you work on pictures
which had to be small. So if you send pics via e-mail or
you work on websites etc. you need the precalculation of jpg-

Latest GIMP Update Error

Submitted by mattlach on July 22, 2013 - 5:47pm

Hey all,

This has been going on for quite a while now. At some point a new version was released, and ever since GIMP will not update (all other portable apps will though.

First off: Plenty of space available on the USB stick (Sandisk Extreme 3.0 16GB, 6GB free)

When going to update GIMP Portable the file starts downloading as expected, but then stops at 61,968kb of 61,972kb. it stops for an extended period of time, and then fails with the current error message:

Download Error: File Open error on file

Python Fu not loading in Gimp 2.8.4

Submitted by MoDei on July 17, 2013 - 2:16am

I am running Windows 8 64 bit with Gimp 2.8.4 on a USB drive but I am not using the PortableApp Suite/launcher but rather just straight from the Gimp folder in the root. I have been unable to get any .py to work in the portable gimp versions from 2.8.2 to 2.8.4 (all revisions). I saw a note on other people having the problem in 2.8.2 - resolved in 2.8.2 rev 2 (but not for me). Same post described a launcher.ini with reference to python so I had a check (with notepad) and that file and the file which came with the newer 2.8.4 looks fine.

GIMP 2.8.6 slow startup

Submitted by AE-35 on June 29, 2013 - 5:42pm

I did a clean install of 2.8.6, when starting this hangs for 20 seconds during startup, loading fonts, if I do a clean install of 2.8.2 this is not happening. Everytime I start 2.8.6 it scans all fonts and all plugins as if it was started for the first time, this is also not happening with 2.8.2.
I noticed that the defaultdata\.gimp contains almost no folders in 2.8.6, if I check this with 2.8.2 there are a lot of folders like brushes, gradients and so on.

Anyone else having this issue?

GIMP: Virus detections from AVG, TrendMicro and VBA32

Submitted by maaylix on April 14, 2013 - 8:42am

Hey there,

Recently my AVG scanner claimed that a few files from gimp portable (version 2.8.4) where malware.

The claimed infections are:

gimp.pyd.debug
gimpcolour.pyd.debug
gimpthumb.pyd.debug
_gimpenums.pyd.debug
_gimpui.pyd.debug

These files can be found in:
App/gimp/lib/gimp/2.0/python/

I scanned these files in virustotal.com and two more vendors claimed they are malware (VBA32 and Trend Micro).
