Hello,

Here is how to get gimpshop portable working.

* install gimpshop
* script fu crashes on my XP SP2 system so ! remove ..\ \lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\script-fu.exe
* download http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=3892 BackgroundWindow ( I am running 3.0alpha )
* then just copy the gimpshop folder Thats it !!

I hate to sound like a complainer, but for my first post, I have a problem with Gimp. It doesn't work right when I try to "Open Location". For example:

File>Open Location>Enter Location URI>http://www.webite.com/picture.jpg

and I get this error:

GIMP Message
GIF Image Message
Could not open 'F:\http://www.webite.com/picture.jpg'
for reading: Invalid argument

Using Gimp on a CDRW i get this message every time at startup:

Unable to open a test swap file. To avoid data loss please check the location and permissions of the swap directory defined in your Preferences (currently "${gimp_dir}").

I checked where the swap directory was -> F:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\Data\settings

Could this be another INI file problem? Any clues?

I use GIMP portable at school to do some icon and logo design and whenever I use one of the features in the script fu pack on an image, after i close GIMP, the script-fu.exe process stays running. The PCs are running XP Pro on a limited account. This issue only occurs on the school computers, it hasn't happened at home at all, and only if I use one of the script fu features.

Gimp Portable continually crashes every time I start it up on a USB Key running in a system using Windows Vista. The web site says it's now Vista ready but something is causing it to crash every time it starts up and gets about half-way through the initialization process.

I just downloaded the latest GIMP portable (v2.2.13). No *HELP* file included, because of its size, and said in a forum posting to be a separate download. Where can it be found for download? There really ought to be a distinct link to the help file download on the GIMP Portable web page.

Hello.

When I install the latest version 2.2.13 and run it for the first time, I get 3 total errors which can be by passed by pressing the continue button many times.

Picture of one of the errors: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/Ediseye/PortableApps/GIMPPortable...

So I kept pushing continue and I got to GIMP. All was well so I decided to close it and reopen. Every time I open GIMP, I kept getting one error message and you can still bypass it by excessively pushing continue.

I don't know if it's like this for all the PortableApps.com Apps, but this is what i found in part of the GIMP ReplaceInFile file.

IfFileExists $2 +1 RIF_error ; knock-knock
FileOpen $R0 $2 "r" ; open the door

GetTempFileName $R2 ; who's new?
FileOpen $R1 $R2 "w" ; the escape, please!

RIF_loop: ; round'n'round we go
FileRead $R0 $R3 ; read one line
IfErrors RIF_leaveloop ; enough is enough
RIF_sar: ; sar - search and replace

I just downloaded gimp portable, and when I try running I get an error saying:

"The application failed to initialize properly (oxcoooo142). Click on OK to terminate the application."

How soon will it be before a 2.3.x version of GIMP Portable is ready? I really want to try the new Foreground Extraction Tool.
