GIMP: Installation problems

Submitted by rdbrown on February 11, 2008 - 4:05pm

I have Gimp Portable 2.2.17 installed on my Ativa U3 device, running off of an XPpro system. When I attempt to open a JPG file I am told it is an unknown file type. I do not receive this error with my locally installed copy of 2.2.13. The plug-in folders specified in preferences are "C:\Documents and Settings\user\.gimp-2.2\plug-ins" first and "H:\System\Apps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins" second. I can see the plug-in files in their folders. JPEG.EXE is among them.

eps/ps mit Gimp bearbeiten

Submitted by tt-web on January 28, 2008 - 5:38am

Hallo,
ich möchte mit meinem gimpportable auch eps/ps dateien bearbeiten. Durch meine latexinstallation (auch portabel Wink ) habe ich ein Verzeichniss, in dem Ghostscript und Ghostview incl. Schriften und dem ganzen Kram vorhanden sind. Für meine Latexumgebung funktioniert auch alles hervorragend, aber wie bringe ich gimpportable bei, diese "installation" zu nutzen?
Im Ordner

Z:\Programme\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\environ

habe ich die default.env Datei wie folgt angepasst:

GS_PROG=z:\Programme\latexbackend\gs\gs8.61\bin\gswin32c.exe

Using GIMP in China - Pango-WARNING (recursed)

Submitted by losethegame on December 28, 2007 - 7:39am

I'm trying to use GIMP Portable (in English) on computers with Windows in Chinese. When I try to save a file I get the message:

Pango-WARNING (recursed) **: Couldn't load font "[chinese characters] 9" falling back to "Sans 9" aborting...

After clicking (what I assume is) OK I get a runtime error and GIMP closes down...

GIMP install/uninstall failure

Submitted by JoelH on November 29, 2007 - 8:59pm

I installed GimpPortable in \System\Apps\GimpPortable.
Clicking on GimpPortable.exe launches the program fine.

Used Shortcut Creator to create a shortcut, but clicking the icon returns this message:
"An error occurred while trying to start the selected program."

Tried to "update" the GIMP shortcut, assuming I had made an error in the path.
SC created a second shortcut that also doesn't work.

Tried to uninstall both instances and get the message:
"Uninstall of GIMP.u3p failed."

Thanks,
Joel

GIMPshop

I know there is GIMP portable, but I was wondering if you guys would mind making a portable version of GIMPshop. I like GIMP, it is a nice image editor, but those 3 separate windows really bug me. So I did some research and found GIMPshop which is basically GIMP put into one single app window (just like photoshop or pixel). Looking forward to you answer. Cheers!!!

GIMP: Splash Screen Removal

Submitted by derwydd on November 21, 2007 - 11:48am

I know this is a talked about before question.

I downloaded the NSIS compiler and plugins. I changed the:

\GIMPPortable\Other\GIMPPortableSource\GimpPortable.ini to have the line ->
DisableSplashScreen=true

I opened and compiled \GIMPPortable\Other\GIMPPortableSource\GimpPortable.nsi

moved GimpPortable.exe to \GIMPPortable\

The splash screen still comes up.

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry for the same question...

Is it possible to manually update GIMP Portable?

Submitted by onionguy92 on November 18, 2007 - 7:58pm

Now, I know I'm not supposed to ask for or about updates, but would it at all be possible for me to manually update my GIMP Portable to 2.4.1? For instance, in the GIMP Portable 2.2.17 directory, replacing the GIMP files with files from the standard app GIMP 2.4.1? As far as I know, file locations haven't really changed. Because if all the portable app needs to do is reference the app in a local manner and run it in a local manner, then I think it should work.

GIMP Portable 2.4.1 (November 8, 2007)

[Link to closed source software removed by moderator JTH. First, clones and forks can not be self-promoted. Second, the launcher included with this package it closed source, so this software can not be promoted here.]

running this version from cd you can also edit large immages (does not work for gimp portable 2.2.17)

GIMP: How do you install the help file?

Submitted by gimpy on October 27, 2007 - 7:35pm

I downloaded it, a large (70mb) file and, in the absence of any instruction as to where it should go, I copied it into the main Gimp folder on my USB drive, where the Gimp program is contained. When I use the Gimp program and click on "Help" it still says "file not found"? Dunowot else to do. I scoured the Gimp web site for information on how to install the help file, but found nothing after an hour of looking. Any suggestion appreciated! Sad
