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:

Syntax error in the manifest or policy file
"I\71tools\11grafic\gimp\22run\GIMPPortable\
App\gimp\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" in line 3.

Error 2:

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.

I'm trying to use the ps-menurc file found online to replace the menurc used in GIMP in order to give GIMP, Photoshop-like hotkeys. In the PortableGimp folder, I have found the following 3 menurc files:

DefaultData\.gimp\menurc
DefaultData\settings\menurc
gimp\etc\gimp\2.0\menurc

I have tried changing all 3 files. Whenever I open up Gimp, none of the hotkeys appear to have used any of the three above menurc files.

How do I change these without doing it all manually through the interface?

I am getting a new computer in a few months.

The operating system will be the new release of Windows 8.

Will there be any problems using GIMP?

Hello all. I'm curious if anyone else out there is having this issue.

1.) I open/extract the GIMP 2.8 portable package on my desktop
2.) Make some configuration changes (copy fonts, brushes, scripts to the appropriate paths in the child DATA folder.
3.) Test and runs great!
4.) I MOVE the whole app folder to my removable disk drive.
5.) It opens, but now all brushes are missing.
6.) Check the Preferences...Folders...Brushes directory and it is pointing to my local disk Desktop folder.
