Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

I created a small project for adding on to Gimp Portable. I use Gimp as a professional and these add-ons are a must for me. I decided to create a small archive which would be easy to install into Gimp Portable.

Let me know if anyone has any questions. I may make a portable app out of it but I'd have to create my own custom installer because the PA.c Installer won't pack it since it's not a complete App... Just an add-on for an app.

Since such simple things as

apt-get install gimp-help

don’t work on Windows, does anyone have some insight for me if (and how) it is possible to install the latest GIMP Help into the portable version 2.6.11?

I’d prefer using both English and German versions, switched by PA’s language setting (like GIMP’s GUI language itself), if anyhow possible.

Any suggestions?

I just installed the latest GIMP portable (2.6.11) and every time I try and save the image as anything except the XCF type of file I get this:

GIMP Message
Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg.exe"
(E:\..blah blah blah\file-jpeg.exe)

The dying plug-in may may have messed up GIMPS internal state.
You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

GIMP Message
Saving 'image name' failed:

Procedure 'file-jpeg-save' returned no values.

Hey guys,
Installed GIMP Portable 2.6.11 over an existing 2.6.10. Tried to open a JPG file from XnView in GIMP, error message: Unknown filetype.
Trying to open the file from within GIMP: GIMP does only see XCF files, click on "all image files" - same behaviour, only XCFs are displayed. Click on "all file types" shows JPGs to, but opening the file leads to the same results - unkown image type.
Same problem with a clean install of GIMP Portable 2.6.11.
Now I switched back to the backup of GIMP Portable 2.6.10, works well.
Any ideas?

I installed this on a Patriot USB stick today with a suit of portable apps that all seem to work. The GIMP does not even open.

Hi,

I used GimpPortable in my windowsXP computer and it was good. I have now another computer (a new one), with Windows7 but GimpPortable will not run. It loads halfway, and then it crashes. I have tried an older version as well as the current version (2.6.10 rev2), with similar disappointing results. It seems like another fellow had the same problem with Gimp and Gimp Portable:
A google search showed this (dead) link, but I was able to see the Google cached link on its forum:

Well, I downloaded and installed.....but

In the About it tells me it is 2.6.9 It also does not have the new Theme look that eliminated the Disappearing Menu Line in Windows 7 .....

The Gimp 2.6.10 had problems until they changed to a setup-1 new windows installer...

It appears you also need to fix the installer.....

Why would it not install using the usual Limited account in XP? Seems the others (all?) install without Admin privileges.

[[EDIT: just updated to new GIMPPortable_2.6.10.paf.exe in Limited account without problem. So I retried install of GIMPPortable_2.6.9.paf.exe; this time no problem either. I guess something on my end was at fault (AV or whatever) that gets frequent updates. PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST. MODS: MAYBE DELETE IT]]

I "always" use a Limited account except for MS update and installing "real" applications that write to the registry.

This co,plied version has the disappearing menu selection problem in Windows 7....On 2.6.8 and now 2.6.9 the lettering blanks out on all the menus, selections.....This also occurs in Gimp 2.6.8 and 2.6.9.....in Gimp we cam solve this by using Gimp Themes....which solved the problem....

I tried to copy the Theme file gtkrc-2.0 to the portable without success although I tried it in several places.....

Since 2.6.9 has introduced new errors I have returned to 2.6.8 in Gimp....was hopeful that Gimp Portable would have solved this......

Hi, everyone. Have you been waiting forever for the single window mode?

I have.

I dl portable GIMP v2.6.8 this morning. This particular version is supposed to have the single window mode but I can't find it. Under Ubuntu, v2.6.8 has it under the WINDOW pulldown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkKG8j9faBA, http://www.ubuntuhq.com/content/singlewindow-confirmed-gimp-28-and-more ...). How do we get this in the portable windows version, 2.6.8?
