Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

PortableGIMP is unusable for me as it won't open any other file format other than .xcf and I get an "unknow image format" error on .PNGs, .JPGs, etc.

This is a known issue with GIMP (see references below), but I've never experienced it with PortableGIMP until now. I haven't used PortableGIMP since at least last summer so this bug was introduced since then.

Ok, for anybody who has used photoshop if you remember the magic eraser that deletes everything thats one certain color, does gimp have something like this?

I've been using portable gimp to do my photo editing for a while now, and I've always wondered if there was a way to either add or change the fonts available in the text option?

I've tried downloading fonts into my windows font folder, but no luck. also, I've tried to find a font folder in the gimp folders to see if its a way to add more fonts to the program, no luck either.

If anybody knows a way, please fill me in.

Please & thank you

Hola

Como podré Convertir Foto Banco y Negro a Foto en Color con Gimp?

Si alguien seria tan amable de explicarme, o darme la dirección de algun Tutorial, le quedaria muy agradecido

I use ClamWin Portable, and it says this about portable Gimp.

J:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\bin\gimp-2.6.exe: Trojan.Agent-121386 FOUND
J:\Vista\Portablepps\GIMPPortable_2.6.7_Rev_3.paf.exe: Trojan.Agent-121386 FOUND

False positive? If so, how can I be sure?

I installed over 2.6.6 and had a problem where EVERY plugin 'stopped working' (had to kill the GIMP tree with process explorer...)

I then deleted the whole GIMP folder, and re-installed...

Now only script-fu crashes...but the window still opens.
If I try to start it (right click -->script fu...) then it warns me about the failure and tells me to restart it.

2 re-installs have not solved the problem...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

After upgrading to 2.6.7 Rev 2, Gimp did not recognize a PNG file. I went to the menu File > Open, expanded Select File Type, and the only type available was XCF. Reinstalling 2.6.7 restored all other file formats.

By default, GIMP saves all new files to X:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\bin.
If you save a file to a different location, GIMP will remember that, but only for that session; if you close GIMP, and then re-open it, it will once again save all new files to X:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\bin.

Not an awful problem, EXCEPT:
When you update GIMP Portable, it blows away the bin folder, and any files you accidentally saved there are lost forever.

I lost a number of files when I just upgraded to 2.6.7.

Hi all !
I'm new on this forum and I have one question.
I have installed Gimp Portable 2.6.6 and the 2 plugins "Background Windows" and "Photoshop Layout".
The second one is well working but the first one seems to do nothing: when I open two pictures, I have to tabs in the Windows taskbar...
Is there any other thing to do after the plugin installation ?
Thanks !!

Since the 2.6.6 update I've started getting the above folder in my C:\Documents and Settings\username directory. On XP. I've never noticed this before. Anybody else?
