Is way, how to set path to Settings folder in accordance with login name of user? Like this: Data\Settings\%username%

I am sorry for my possibly bad English.

I like the new (v. 2.2.15) Installer with the ability to install either the english or the multilingual version. But using it I had some ideas to make the language change easier:
What about having the user choosing the exact language at the installation. Or, if I install the multilingual version, have the Lanucher presenting the different languages and delete the ones I don't choose/need. If I find myself needing other languages, I still can reinstall and chose others.
Or make a separate launcher acting as a "language changer"?

What do you think?

Hi, I've noticed a pretty bad cursor alignment problem using Gimp and my Wacom tablet. Now I've searched high and low online, and found that a simple command-line parameter will solve my problem, "--no-wintab" but here inlies my problem. How do I add this extra command to PortableGIMP?

I've made a shortcut and added the command-line there, so I know this will work, however I cannot access the shortcut from the PortableApps launcher, which for me is a big thorn in my side since soo much work went in to streamlining this package.

When loading, I get the following error message:

Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) aborting...

I have not been able to open Vista's new .ico format with GIMP portable.
Does anybody know why this is? Will it be fixed in future releases?

Can i use the de-wierdifyer ( http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=3892) with gimp portable? Ive tried and so far its not behaving - the background window will not close and when i minimise it leaves the gimp windows still maximised.

Any way round this? Im planningon using this in a school setting so the de-wierdifyer will reduce child confusion considerably!

Thanks, mel

Hello,

* 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.
