Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

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.

after clicking file /open the pictures show the correct size but the preview says there 1.3gb and refuses to load the thumbnails.
Saving is the same way as well says there 1.3gb or in some cases bigger which making a file under a certain size hard.
ive formatted the drive and zeroed it as well the problem is still there and also tried it on win xp and ubuntu/wine all seem to have the problem as well. i can post links to pictures of the problem if needed.

im using the latest Gimp 2.8 portable revision

I have been using GIMP portable for years. I am now using the latest version - 2.8 rev 4.
In the previous several versions, I have been able to open PDF files in GIMP. However in this version, when I try to open a PDF file I get an "unknown file type error"
Specific symptoms:
In the Portable GIMP, File>Open...
- If I select the file type filter to All Images, PDF files do not appear.
- If I search through the file type filters for Portable Document format, it does not exist.

Hello,

I am totally new to using GIMP.

I just downloaded GIMP Portable.

The set up looks different then what I expected.

Is the PortableApps site the offical site to download GIMP Portable?

Also I have been told that using the portable version would be compromising functionality?

Can someone clarify these things for me?

Thank you

Hello,

I have decided to try and learn GIMP for photo editing.

I just started looking at some of the GIMP tutorials.

Are the features in the portable version of GIMP the same as the regular version?

Thank you
