Gimpportable running in batch mode under Windows

Submitted by leomayleoamy on March 9, 2007 - 9:33am

Hi,all,
I've got a problem recently.
HowTo send commandline parameter to gimpPortable.exe?
I want to run gimpPortable in batch mode under Windows.
Normal Gimp under linux I start like this:
./gimp-2.2.exe -c -i -d -b '(script-fu-glossy-logo "$1" 100 "Eras" "Shadows 2" FALSE "Shadows 2" FALSE 5 "255 255 255" FALSE "Electric Blue" FALSE "Electric Blue" FALSE "Parque #1" TRUE TRUE 8 8)'

but how do I do under Windows?

Thanks for your reply.

GIMP: Lock out because of missing XLMPARSE.DLL

Submitted by WendyvanDijk on March 2, 2007 - 9:46am

I am not amused.

I am working on a W2K station in a domain where applications are distributed by Zen.
After I used The Gimp - and yes, I let Gimp disable XMLPARSE.DLL and XMLTOK.DLL - and some time later restarting; my system wouldn't let me login to the network. Only local login was possible; to which I am not allowed..
It seems that NAL (Novell Application Launcher) needs the XMLPARSE.DLL and it couldn't find it in the path. A portion of ZEN can't start after that failure, and login is prohibited.

How to install Gimp Animation Package

Submitted by pcfreak on February 3, 2007 - 5:06am

I've got both the install version of Gimpshop and GIMP Portable on my pc. I've been trying for a couple of hours to get the GIMP Animation Package (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121075) installed, but since both versions of GIMP don't write their install path to the registry the GAP won't install. I don't know how to do this since I really wanna use the animation package and I preferably don't wanna install the full version of GIMP and GTK. Any solutions?

improper pathing in gimp portable code

Submitted by dopper on January 2, 2007 - 1:26pm

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

lists the path to where users store their windows shell folder data.(desktop, startmenu, my documents, application data, favourites, local settings, etc)

Gimp appears to have a home and desktop shortcut hardcoded to look to C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\ for the home icon, but shouldn't the "Home" icon be the windows equivalent "My Documents" and link to wherever that is in the registry key mentioned above?

tvt_banner.dll - Error Message from GIMP on IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad

Submitted by mikethemountain on December 18, 2006 - 3:52pm

Hello everyone.

I thought I'd share a quick fix I figured out, as it doesn't look like anyone else has come across this issue yet. I've been digging around for the last hour trying to figure out how to stop GIMP (running on a thumbdrive) from popping up multiple errors regarding a missing file:

  • tvt_banner.dll
  • Something about the component failing to initialize, I apologize for not copying it down exactly. The errors would pop up whenever I tried to edit any text in a dialog box ("New File" for example).

    The file is specific to IBM/Lenovo (I'm on a T42 Thinkpad at work). Searching around, I found this link:
