[Fixed] GIMP: Tmp folders left after closing

Submitted by Double Impact on May 9, 2012 - 4:40pm

John, if you're not against, I will open a new topic for this little issue - I shouldn't have posted this in my "[Fixed] GIMP Portable 2.8.0 Rev 3 - Local Help error" topic

For some odd reason, *.tmp folders (names like nsr2D9B.tmp) are left in system %TEMP% directory.
It's not related to browsing help (as John has supposed in https://portableapps.com/node/32124#comment-194220 )
I do not open help and this still happens.
The folder is created when GIMPPortable.exe starts and contains:

launcher.ini
registry.dll
runtimedata.ini
System.dll

[Fixed] GIMP Portable 2.8.0 Rev 3 - Local Help error

Submitted by Double Impact on May 9, 2012 - 7:33am

Guys, this seems to be not a GIMP Portable problem, but the GIMP itself.
I'm experiencing this issue on both local and portable versions of GIMP 2.8

I've copied the help for 2.6 (the latest available for download now)
to the folder App\gimp\share\gimp\2.0\help - so my actions seem to be right.
When I go to the Preferences - Help System - General - User manual, it says "There's a local installation of the user manual.". But it doesn't work.
Please tell me - can you reproduce this error?

Updated Gimp 2.8 rev 2 from 2.8 and 2,74 Application runs well I close app and the background window will not close. I have to go to task manager to end the process gimpportablebgwindow.exe This is after I close the program from the menu within the program.

Running Win 7 64 bit full admin rights with 8 gb ram

Will try to uninstall app and reinstall it without it updating previous versions to see if issue persists

How to get Gimp Portable to use Ghostscript Portable

Submitted by CNBlackwood on February 2, 2012 - 8:32am

Apparently GIMP uses Ghostscript in order to import eps images. I have both Gimp Portable and Ghostscript Portable installed, and when I try to import an eps file in Gimp, I get a message saying Gimp couldn't find Ghostscript and to try using the environment variable GS_PROG to indicate where it is.
