Inkscape Portable with Textext (MikTex, pstoedit, gs)

Submitted by thkin6 on August 14, 2011 - 4:06pm

Hi,

I managed to get Inkscape Portable with its extension Textext (used to write latex equations directly in Inkscape) to work with MikTex, pstoedit and ghostscript in a fully portable package. No need to add stuff to the PATH as usually required for these apps on Windows.

Here's a link to the full package (zipped) 161MB [old version 0.48]

GIMP not working!

Submitted by mikimi on March 7, 2011 - 1:12am

Hi everybody,

I still have the same problem which is described under the post "[Fixed] GIMP Portable 2.6.11 does not open other file types then XCF".

  • https://portableapps.com/node/25198
  • I already posted there but since no one was answering I thought maybe it's because it says it's "FIXED" but it isn't ...

    If I drag files to GIMP the message appears:

    Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg.exe"
    (X:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\file-jpeg.exe)
    
    

    GIMP: File types missing in open file (again)

    When the installation directory is moved and the user doesnt have write access for the file "App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\environ\default.env" the "open file" dialog shows only *.xcf. This means that CD or server installations wont work.

    Cause: GIMPPortable adjusts the contents of the file to the new location. If this fails, everything seems to be normal, but file formats other than xcf are not available.

    Steps to reproduce:

    • Install GIMPPortable and verify that it works correctly
    • Move (dont copy!) the directory to a different location

    Malicious File in Gimp Portable Download?

    Submitted by Sworddancer on January 7, 2011 - 12:13pm

    Installed Gimp 2.6.11 rev3 and ran on windows xp with PCtools Spyware Doctor.
    During Gimp portable start-up Spyware Doctor blocked a malicious file the details of which are:

    HeurEngine.ZeroDayThreat
    f:\portable apps\portableapps\gimpportable\app\gimp\lib\2.0\plug-ins\print.exe

    SD provided the following description:
    "Attempts to download malicious files to the local computer and execute them"

    Is Spyware Doctor being over sensitive or is there a security issue with the download?

    Thanks in advance

    GIMP: Mysterious Conflict

    Submitted by Jerry Fletcher on November 21, 2010 - 9:31pm

    Hello, I'm having some issues running Gimp Portable.

    Whenever I try to run the program, it gets to

    Querying new Plug-ins

    & begins sending me numerous errors.

    Specifically:

    *.exe has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    

    Whereas the *.exe would be (I assume) every single file in this directory:
    C:\~\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins
