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?

I found this version much better than the stright Gimp 2.4.5.....

I first mounted it on a Flash Drive...then copied it to the main computer...best of all it can run in parallel as it does not share the same setting files....I installed one version with Background Window and the PS dock arrangements..

I also can use the Background Window and the PS dock arrangements on my regular Gimp..
