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

-----Paul-----

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?

I've try several time to download this good send portable but whatever the link nothing was working. Anyone can help??

Unzipped, the application folder comes out to 17.5MB, but size on disk is over 31.5 MB (The effective space the program takes because of the sector size; A 1kB file takes up 4kB of space when sector size is 4kB.) Is there any way to run the application from an archive, or leave at least most of those 1700+ files in an archive file on the USB drive so you don't have 80% wasted space? Even an uncompressed archive would save all that space and wouldn't drag performance too much.
