Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

I attempted to, but could not, run GIMP from a USB drive on my generally protected work computer. I thought that this is what portable apps meant. What am I missing? Error message was "restrictions in effect, contact system administrator."

This question is also related to other GTK-based apps, but I don't want to post multiple copies.

I have six folders named GTK and a number more as GTK2.0 on my drive, under CommonFiles, GimpPortable, PidgenPortable, X-ChatPortable, PlannerPortable, EasyTAGPortable, Claws-MailPortable, GNUCashPortable, and GNUBackgammonPortable. Are any of these removable? If so, which ones?

Thanks for your consideration...

GIMP Portable launcher removes default %PATH% entry, so it can use only internal GTK. This greatly increases it's size...
Is it due to the problems with xmlparse and xmltok? If so, the better solution would be setting %PATH%=(gtk path);%PATH%. This way Windows should find the internal ones first, but if they don't exist, still would be able to find the shared ones.

Hello,

my anti virus software (FP-WIN) detects the "W32/Trojan.BXSI" in the file video.exe at the path "GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins".

Is there a contaminated file in the installation package "GIMP_Portable_2.2.17.paf.exe" or is there an error in the virus signature of FP-WIN.

Many thanks in advance for your response!

Kind Regards

Hello,

I have been opening up some previously made gimp files, and I change some text in there, click on the move layers tool, change it to move current layer, and then i move the text, then i duplicate the text, then when i click on the duplicate text in the layers panel, and click on the add tet to image tool in order to try to change that text, and then i get a pop up from windows that GIMP isnt working and it closes after i click do not send (do not send info to microsoft about the error or soemthing like that).

Any help would be nice, thanks - Jason

Can anyone make it so gimp portable can save out standard windows cursors?,
*.cur files.

thanks.

Hi,

I've noted that my GIMP Portable has been running awfully slow on relatively good computers (2GHz, 1 GB of RAM) when working with only 2000x3000 px images, which is surprising for me. I checked the temporary folder, and it's directed to a location on the flash drive. While this makes a bit of sense, the drive is only 512MB, and USB 2.0 can't transfer that much information that quickly.

The plug-in 'RAW.EXE' for loading/saving raw data files
gets not always loaded.

If Gimp starts the first time after a new installation,
all works fine.
But after the second or third start, the plug-in
is not loaded anymore (not shown in the image type
list of the 'load image' dialog).

Any suggestions how to solve the problem?

Thanks

Hari

I have downloaded the install file for GIMP Portable, but every time I try to install it from the package it tells me: The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete?

Does anyone have any alternative download locations or the like

Cheers
