When I start Gimp I get libglib-2.0-0.dll is not found. I tried to register it and got an error.

I just downloaded Portable Gimp 2.2.11 (and I've also had this same problem with the same version of the installed gimp...)

I can create a new file or edit and already existing jpg/png/gif, etc... I save it as an xcf then I try to save it as a jpg or png and the save dialog just stops working. Both the cancel and the "x" don't work. It just sits there like it forgot what it was doing. I don't get any error messages.

I can still do things in the rest of the program (even save it again as an xcf), but the save dialog just hangs out doing nothing. And I can't save anything other than an xcf.

So, what are the chances of a portable GimpShop version?

I know this is a Known Issue, but when I run the std download of portable Gimp, and get the intl.dll not found error. I downloaded the Experimental file, and it starts to load, but for each plugin that loads, I get the "intl.dll not found" error. It came up at least 20 times.

Anyone know how I can clean my system to get this to work?

This was partly covered already, I just had a little bit to add. First of all I wanted to says thank you to John and all who help. This is a wonderful website with a ton of stuff... Couldn't be happier.

Everytime I run Portable Gimp, I get a .gtk-bookmarks and a .fonts.cache file added to "My Documents" And after I have a opened up a picture. I get a .thumbnails folder. Just wondering if anyone else was experiancing this as well and wondering about a possible fix

Your speed startup .ini has the typo that was pointed out in another thread.

GTKDirectory=gtk\gin

Should be:

GTKDirectory=gtk\bin

Gimp looks for new plugins whenever it beginning. This process is very slow in my PC. There is some form to solve it?

Thanks

I believe that Portable GIMP leaves a .gtk-bookmarks file in the Documents and Settings\User folder.

When I try to open the help utility, I get the following message:

help.exe Message
The GIMP help files are not installed.
Could not open '...\PortableGIMP\gimp\share\gimp\2.0\help\en\gimp-help.x,l' for reading: No such file or directory
Please check your installation.

Sure enough, it's not there. And I've looked through the zipped archive used to load all this, and I cannot find the file either. Any suggestions?

I am not sure if this is making a difference but the ini file reads:

GIMPDirectory=gimp\bin
GTKDirectory=gtk\gin
SettingsDirectory=settings

instead of
GTKDirectory=gtk\bin

Would the NSIS treat this as a "no ini" and default to GTK in the enviornmental variable path?
