Why does this new version take over 45 minutes to load each launch?
the older version ran heck of alot faster (3 minutes) and each load it takes FOOOORRRRRRREEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

this kinda maked me want the old version back unless i can somehow make it faster.

"Querying new Plug-ins" part is ANNOYING!!!!

can i get its first released version.......

Gimp portable does not install, i had to istall twice before the folder showed, can this be fixed for others? also, it wouldnt start for me.

I installed the GIMP 2.4.4 multilingual. After installation i wanna set to Hungarian locale. So I changed the GIMPPortableSettings.ini file in GIMPPortable\Data\settings directory: I have set LANG=hu_HU, but after restarting, the language is always the local PC's LANG. The en_US code works OK, but the de_DE, fr_FR works not. How to change the language?

The help guide for Gimp is huge. The portable version of the help guide I think is over 60 MB. What part of it is safe to delete after install? I just need the English help.

this is my question!!

how to activate gimp photoshop layout ?

i installed to the portable gimp location but when starting gimp i dont see the photoshop layout !

I was trying to run GimpPortable 2.4.4 from a locked usb-stick.

First I have installed it on my harddrive, I have run it once and then I have copied it to the usb-stick. After locking the usb drive, I ahve started it.
Well Gimp starts, but the startup is follow by an error (?) message:

http://www.gimp.org/features/ says:

Supported Platforms
* Linux (i386, PPC)
* Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista)
* Mac OS X
* Sun OpenSolaris
* FreeBSD

Other pages on the gimp.org site claim Win2000 compatibility, so I don't know whether Win2000 is supposed to work or not. Has anyone been able to run GIMP 2.4.4 (either standard or portable) on Win2000? Mine crashes while trying to load image files.

I use WindowsXP and try to start Gimp 2.4.4.
The last message that i can read after the software stop to work is , the he load the Fonts.
No Message that something is wrong. Only the software stops to load the whole application

Please help me ...

I'm loving this new app, especially with the add-ons(+). I'm a Photoshop & Lightroom guy but using 2.4.4+ in conjunction with FSviewer is awesome. It isn't as intuitive but it is definitely much easier lugging around my external HDD with GIMP installed then dragging my laptop with me everywhere I go; computers are everywhere, Photoshop isn't.

I see plenty of threads requesting new apps or complaints of bugs, I just wanted to say thanks.
