What differences are there between GIMP and gimp portable, in terms of functionality?
Also, is there a way to change the default save path?
Hello,
first thanks for PortableApps, its a greate job u do.
I work long with PortApps but now i have a problem but no solution.
I will start PortGimp with Parameters but don´t know how.
Normal Gimp 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 under PortGimp?
I tried this:
PortableGIMP.ini
[PortableGIMP]
AdditionalParameters=-c -i -d -b '(script-fu-glossy-logo "Test" 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)'
gimp 2.2.12 multilingual does not start up if configured in this non-default directory structure.
Directory with GIMPPortable.exe (PortableApps, for instance) +\Apps\ +\GIMPPortable\ +\GIMP\ +\gtk\ +\Data\ +\GIMPPortable\ +\settings\
Following GIMPPortableSource\readme.txt this configuration should work. I get an obviously incomplete information message saying: 'was not found. Please check your configuration'
When starting Gimp 2.2.12 error-messages are occuring "There is no media in the drive. Please insert media".
With pushing the go-on-button (serveral times....), Gimp is starting.
That error - message occures when starting from harddisk as well as when starting from usb-drive.
Does anyone know a solution for that ?
I am using the "multilingual version"
Thanks,
Peter
I have installed GimpPortable2.2.12en_us three times.
And each time I had to create and define the user directory becuse there wasn't any premade / defined.
Or else I couldn't make or use my own brushes, patterns, etc.
I am trying to load gimp from my thumb drive. It shows the splash screen loading things. It stops at fonts and then says that "gimp-2.2 has generated errors and will be closed by windows" it says that a log was created but i cant find it anywhere. Can someone please help?? Thanks, Matt
Hello!
Is it possible to use UFRaw within portable GIMP?
Since I only take pictures in RAW format I need this functionality.
I have extracted the compiled files from GAP from the GIMP installer site: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/
I have compressed the exe files using UPX in accordance with https://portableapps.com/support/gimp_portable#modifications
Finally I put them in a zip file that corresponds to the GIMP portable file structure.
Extracted 2.2.12 into my PortableApps Folder and then copied the launcher into PortablbeApps
gimp2.2 not found, please check your configuration.
Shouldn't this work right out of the box as it says on the application web page?
Thanks Thom
