Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

For some reason, the Freetype plugin was removed from the 2.4 release of GIMP (thus it's also missing in the portable app version). I don't know what the GIMP guys were thinking as I and many others use it often, but anyway... After a bit of searching, I managed to find a way to put Freetype back in 2.4.6 (Windows only). Just download the plugin from here then move freetype.exe to GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins.

Hi

Does anyone know how to install ghoscript / ghostview with Gimp Portable in order to be able to open pdf files, I have searched this forum and found a dead link and my other searches yielded no results but surely there must be a tutorial somewhere and I can see it would also be useful to others
Thanks a lot in advance

When I try opening a .svg file, I get an error message as follows:

Plug-in crashed: "svg.exe"
(G:\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\svg.exe)

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

How is this plug-in "dying," and what can I do to bring it back to life?

Thanks for your help!

Hi all,
even it was possible in previous versions (before GIMP 2.4.5 Portable) to "Edit - Copy" in GIMP Portable and then to CTRL+V e.g. in MS Word, it is not possible anymore. Could you help? Is it matter of setting, or bug, or known issue, ...

Someone on another forum said you could edit font files, like copy and paste images into the layers.

How do you do this?
I tried opening gimpportable but couldn't find how...

I really like the portable version since it can be moved into drive C or used from a USB drive....Once located in Drive C, preferences set...no problem...

Now the problem, for the USB disk, I copied Brushes, Scripts, Patterns, Gradients, and Plugins into the main Portable Gimp directory each in their own folders....

where is the spash screen located in the latest release of GIMP cuz i want to enhance it a bit to make it look better but i cant seem to find the picture.

Hi,

this is my first post on this forum :). First I have to say the Portable Apps are amazing!

Last I searched for simple pdf2image converter. I found mainly commercial application, but I read that GIMP can open PDF files and save as bitmap. As fan of Portable Apps I downloaded GIMP_Portable_2.4.5_Rev_2.paf.exe and I installed on my hard disk with other Portable Apps. When I tried to open PDF file, a Windows pop-up asked whether I want to send information about problem of poppler.exe.

Hello!

My question: how can I use the Help Package with portable GIMP?

Thanks

Greetings, all. I have Gimp Portable 2.4.5 running on a Thinkpad T61 running WinXP. I'm having an issue where it will not save my main window position (the one with the tools on it). I usually have that window on the far left, sized the same height as my screen, and the Navigation/Histogram/etc. window on the far right, same height. I go to preferences and save window positions, but it doesn't seem to "stick". I'm not using the background window plugin. The only thing that *may* be odd is that I use two screens. But I always keep the GIMP windows on the laptop screen. Any ideas?
