Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

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

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.

I am trying to download the latest gimp, but getting an error that he file could not be found.

I was simply clicking the green button on the gimp page.

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?

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).

Hi

When I try to start GIMP Portable (v2.8.2 Rev_2) on my Win7 (64bit) PC, I get an error message from PortableApps.com Launcher: "Another instance of GIMP Portable is starting. Please wait for it to start before launching it again." After hitting OK the program does not start. Obviously I checked whether another instance is really running, or I even tried it straight after boot-up, but without success.

Other symptoms:
- The same happens for uTorrent and JDownloader Portable, but not for others (e.g. VLC Player Protable is starting OK)
