Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

Since I prefer not to use the single window display so I can open two images side-by-side (like 'before' and 'during/after' editing) I would like to be able to lock the Toolbox and Layers windows together so I can slide them out of the way quickly (small screen). Even better would be one of those '-' thingy buttons that sends the window to the taskbar.

Hi,

can somebody tell me, why this is? I have the .ini-File in the main Gimp portable directory. Once I exit Gimp, all the recent files and file history are gone. They only stay on as long as GIMP is open.

Hello,

My problem :
My Portable Gimp can not load nor save any other file type than xcf. See details below:

• Loading another format than xcf
  - When I do : file -> open -> (change filter to all files) select a file (for example png/jpg): I get a popup message saying "Unknown file type"
  - When I drag and drop a png/jpg file into gimp: nothing happens
• Saving a xcf file into another format
  - When I do : file -> save as -> Select File Type (By Extension) : I only get 2 lines "By Extension" and "GIMP XCF Image"

Gimp 2.8.2 crashes, when using cage transform tool. (A meanwhile known bug.)
So, despite minor shortcommings, in the moment Gimp 2.8.0 is the more stable solution and should eventually be offered direct at the main PortableGimp download page (at least as an alternative option).

In the file open dialog Gimp creates thumbnails for all clicked pictures (at least after click in the right sidebar).

The installed StandardGimp (Win 32, Vista) saves it for future use usually in the userdirectory on harddrive c:

Gimp portabel saves and keeps thumbnails correct separated in its own directory: GIMPPortable\Data\.gimp\.thumbnails\normal

But when closing GimpPortable, all saved thumbnails of the installed StandardGimp (wherever stored) are deleted!

Hi, still getting the errors when trying to use GIMP. Tried downloading and reloading it twice and the other fixes for it as previously recommended, but no go. The previous GIMP worked fine.

My computer is a HP Compaq with XP Pro SP3 and Trend Micro Officescan as the virus checker.

Maybe I'm not getting something pointed at the right place, or Trend Micro is blocking something.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Don.

This is a very strange one. Let me explain it as short as possible to
you:

I have two PCs. Let's call them "PC-A" and "PC-B". Both are running with
windows xp SP1. On PC-A gimp 2.8.2 portable runs perfectly. On PC-B gimp
2.8.2 portable doesn't even start.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The error messages on PC-B are:

Error 1:

SideBySide:

"I\71tools\11grafic\gimp\22run\GIMPPortable\

Hello,
Is the portable version 32 Bit or 64 Bit?

I think I read once it is both and chose according to the host system.

I just can't get GMIC Filter to work and I want to know which version should I install.

I work on Windows 7 64 Bit.

Thanks.

(Current) Latest version of GIMP Portable chrashes for me at startup.

Changing "plug-ins" to "plug-ins_" in \App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins (aka not loading any plugins) lets GIMP Portable startup without crashes, I do not know which plugin causes it.

Edit: Probably a problem with the computer.
