Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

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.

Hi there,

first of all, thanks a million for this superb portable app. Especially the fact that we don't have to install two separate programs (GTK & GIMP) anymore, really helps.

I'm in the process of convincing several people of giving the GIMP a good try, and one of the largest barriers for many to cross, is in fact the GTK menu style. Lots of people don't know any better than their Windows menu, and get completely lost when having to go to "my documents" from C:\.

there's a workaround available for this, as a plug-in, it features in the official gimp plug-in list:

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.

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.

Does GIMP portable support EXIF data in JPEG files? I read in the GIMP manual that EXIF is only supported if the libexif library is included and that is dependent on if it was selected at compile time.

You can download the help files here.

Copy them to PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\share\gimp\2.0.

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?
