Malware in GIMP?

Submitted by John JD Doe on March 6, 2009 - 7:33am

Recently I was just going through the old logs of my McAfee VirusScan, and one item was video.exe.

The location was in PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\video.exe.

It was identified as New Malware.jj (Trojan). Is this just VirusScan being paranoid or has anyone else seen this?

GIMP: Issue with bringing graphics window into focus

Submitted by joshritger on March 3, 2009 - 6:43pm

I have been having an issue in the newest build where the window that the graphic is in will not come into focus. What I mean by this is that the tool panels are always on top of graphics window. This makes it hard to work on graphics in larger windows. I have tried deleting the install of portable gimp and downloading it again and still get this issue. Is there a setting that would cause this behavior?

GIMP save settings

Submitted by lemonydes on February 8, 2009 - 1:22pm

Hello,

I like very much GIMP portable and I am using it quiet often. I also install several plugins.

I have only one problem with GIMP portable. GIMP is not saving my usual settings. Every time when I close the GIMP and start it again all plugins are adjusted to "standart" setting.

How to force GIMP to save settings during quitting?

thanks in advanced

where takes gimp fonts?

Submitted by ottosykora on December 18, 2008 - 3:49am

I have some problem with the gimp portable. I wanted work on some picture and add some little bit special font. This font I have previously installed on the host PC, normal apps like winword etc offered it for use.

Only gimp portable could not find the particular font. Furthermore I have noticed it offers only part of the fonts installed on the host machine.

Where does the gimp portable loads the fonts it is using from? Is there any restriction on what fonts it is using?

GIMP: Beginner: Can this be saved strait on a CD and used ?

Submitted by dogdog on December 15, 2008 - 10:12pm

I'm a little confused on this. Can this be saved strait on a CD and used ?

My issue is I'm ever leary anymore about saving (installing) programs if I don't need them. I wanted to try GIMP to see if it had the functions that I'm after. I've installed two other freeware image programs and they don't do what I want.

Do I have to actually install this thing on my computer? Can I just down load the file - save the file in my documents - burn it on a CD and use it?

Thanks
