GIMP 2.6.8 install too slow in XP (more than 10 minutes!)

Submitted by hgc2002 on February 20, 2010 - 7:15am

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?

GIMP: Small 2.6.8 Script-Fu Bug

Submitted by pbr on January 10, 2010 - 11:26am

At the risk of raising my dork quotient to prodigious heights — I'm not a programmer — I believe I've found a minor oopsy in the PA edition of 2.6.8, specifically the script-fu-compat.init file buried in the scripts folder. (That's the one that "provides some compatibility with scripts that were originally written for use with the older SIOD based Script-Fu plug-in of GIMP.") To cut to the chase, the version that ships with the portable version doesn't work (deprecated scripts produce syntax error messages and crash) while the desktop version does.
