Gimp portable & ghostscript / gho

Submitted by BenG on June 20, 2008 - 11:45am

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

GIMP 2.4.6 will not open .SVG file

Submitted by kenney9226 on June 18, 2008 - 9:47am

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!

Kenny

Copying from GIMP

Submitted by bartage on June 11, 2008 - 7:10am

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, ...

GIMP: Dealing with Drives

Submitted by willgoss on April 23, 2008 - 1:18pm

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....

Opening PDF file GIMP crashes

Submitted by jajazek on April 19, 2008 - 3:25pm

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.

GIMP: Save Window Positions?

Submitted by MadTxn on April 18, 2008 - 9:45am

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?
