Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

I installed GIMp Portable to my 32GB OCZ ATV pen drive. I have a number of other portable apps on here, including your VideoLAN portable (not the latest - waiting for more reported stability)

Anyway, two of your apps simply won't launch, whether I call for them from PStart or go directly to them in windows explorer and double click them. The two are GIMP Portable and Celestia Portable.

Trying to launch them simply does nothing. I get a microsecond of hourglass, then nothing. They don't show up in task manager. They never launch.

GIMP 2.6.2 has officially be released today (Oct. 30th), but the Windows version has been published yet. Pretty much just more bug fixes... if anybody cares.

I tried to save a copied section as a pattern earlier today, and got an error. I'm running this particular version as a Portable App, so it could be an issue with that...the error I get is:

Error: Procedure execution of file-pat-save failed: Could not open 'F:\GIMPPortable\Data\settings/patterns/mypattern5.pat' for writing: No such file or directory.

I notice there are backslashes and forward slashes in that file directory. Is that the problem, or how should I go about fixing this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Edit: I'm running 2.6.1

I can't seem to get the GIMP help files to work. They installed fine, but GIMP doesn't seem to know where they are - did I put them in the wrong place?

They are at: \PortableApps\GIMPPortable\help

There's another help folder at: \PortableApps\GIMPPortable\Other\Help

Thanks for any tips!

Tried searching the forum, visiting the app support page, and also brought this up via chat support before posting this (special mention to MaienM for the assistance!). But up to now the .ORF file still can't even be recognized by GIMP-Portable using the workaround posted submitted by gocyclones on January 20, 2007 - 11:52am 'HowTo: Open RAW files in GIMP Portable with UFRaw plug-in'

Would appreciate solutions specific to GIMP-Portable please.
Currently I use WinXP running portableapps from a usb drive, and GIMP-Portable v2.6.1.

I'm not new to the world of portable apps, but I'm having a trouble.

I downloaded GIMP 2.6.1 (if there's a new version, don't remind, I'm on dial-

up), but the installer won't start with a message from Windows saying that the program is too big to put on memory. 7-zip fails to open it.

GIMP_Portable_2.6.1.paf.exe is sized 16.2M (17038232B), was downloaded using a download manager and has no icon. I'm using Avast Antivirus and it gives no alert.

Love Gimp Portable, but can anyone attest to whether the following alert from Spyware Doctor 6 is a false positive:

Threat name - Adware.Agent.BN
Details - Spyware Doctor has blocked an application attempting to access a file.
Risk Level - High
Infection - e:\portableapps\gimpportable\app\gimp\bin\libcroco-0.6-3.dll

I just downloaded Gimp Portable 2.6.1.
Using Edge-Detect->Difference of Gaussians... results in the layer becoming entirely transparent. This even shows up in the preview window. If I uncheck Invert, it will preview properly, but will still erase the entire layer when I run the operation.

Is this a known defect? Is this where I report bugs?

Hi, when right-clicking a file in windows explorer, chosing "Open with... GIMP", the file won't open and an error occurs. Also when GIMP is already running, same problem.

Is that due to the configuration of MY computer or is that a common problem ?

Thanks for any reply, Simon

Interesting how fast the Windows 2.6.1 version came out...actually at the same time as Gimp 2.6.1.........wow

Only problem so far is opening long menus such as Filters..it is hard to move down and make selections...jumps off menu....very bad....

Well, found the problem....the Background Window is causing the cursor jumping off the menu.....remover the Background Window and Mouse,Cursor and Menu selection was back to normal.....
