Is Python supported in GIMP Portable 2.8 without it having installed in Windows?
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
GIMPPortable 2.8.0 is leaving behind folders and files after installing and opening it. C:\Users\x\AppData\Local\fontconfig\cache\cache-3.

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.
Hi,
I have a "You don't have a writable data folder configured" error when I'm trying to save a gradient... Does anyone know if there is a quick solution?

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]
