Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

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?

file-glob.exe and contrast-normilize.exe are detected by McAfee as virus. Details are in the following screenshot: http://wikisend.com/download/881800/gimp-virus-alert.png.

Hello, thanks a lot for portableapps.com service.
I downloaded GIMP Portable 2.6.8. It works greatly!
Thanks to Portable Apps (.com) Windows registry is very light!

But I need some help about file browsing: when I open images folders in Windows XP SP3, Explorer doesn't show the image-miniature of the files, even if I use the "preview" option in the view menu of Explorer's window (s).

Is there any way in order to let Windows recognize the format?
A shared DLL with the appropriate Registry keys...? Or an utility? Or other?

Thanks!

I've tried to install portable GIMP in an XP SP2, but the install process takes more than 10 minutes! (actualy I've never finished it).

Something should be hapening because I've installed some other portable appls in the same laptop without any problem.

Ideas?

Regards,
Herman

As long as there's no picture open in Gimp, there's a rat constantly peeping at me over the edge of the window. Is there any way to get rid of this rodent?
