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

on the new release when i go to "save as"
i usually select JPG

and Preview ( to check the saved quality)

when i try it in the portable gimp i get a message

"Could not open 'G:\Portable Apps\GIMPPortable\Data\settings\tmp\gimp_temp_36200.jpeg' for writing: No such file or directory"
if i leave that box unchecked all works fine and i can save the jpg anywhere i want
just would be nice to "preview" the compression

winXP
1 gig ram
all patches and updates
using gimp on a 512 meg thumb drive and the only real program running

When starting the new GimpPortable2.2.12en_us I get the following popup window message:

Title: gimp-2.2.exe - Application Error
WindowMsg: The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.

After clicking the OK button this message goes away and PortableGimp fails to start.

I think, based on other items in this forum, that this is most likely caused by a gtk conflict on my machine as Acer Arcade is known to use xmlparse.dll and xmltok.dll. These files were not located in the windows or system directory, nor were they stored anywhere within the path of this computer:

Us non-geeks are always in desperate need of help files!

The Gimp help can't be accessed within Gimp Portable. It's an .exe file that needs to be downloaded separately (over 20 MB) and, when started, doesn't find a registry entry if Gimp is not installed regularly. I didn't manage to make it load within Gimp (a geek or gimp should know how to, though, and please let the non-geeks know!). But, I finally got at the help file anyway. Not bad for a non-geek, eh?

Here's how to: Get an extractor (like "Universal Extractor") and extract with it the gimp-help-2-0.9-setup.exe. You get some file and a folder named "{app}". Click yourself through that folder to your language. The help is there in many .html files. You start out best by double-clicking on "ch01.html", as this is where the help file begins. From within it you can navigate to all the other .html files, e.g. by clicking on the "next" links in each page. That's it.
