Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

This probably isn't necessary because I see lots of other posts that suggest the current portable GIMP just doesn't work. In my case it took forever to launch and when it finally did the first thing I wanted to do was customize some settings. Selecting Edit>Preferences caused it to crash immediately. I did try it on both a Windows 7 and Windows 10 computer with same result.

The GIMP community is experimenting on converting the GIMP Windows package to UWP/Microsoft Store-ready material using the Desktop Bridge (visit https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bridges/desktop), and needs a little help I believe can be assisted by the PortableApps community, due to the "containerized" nature of how PortableApps work. (Dependency errors are everywhere when the standard GIMP for Windows install is converted using the Desktop Bridge.)

Windows 10 64 bit

Update- took advice from post below and Rolled back to 2.10.6 until a fix is in place.

GIMP opens fine, but crashes when I click on File > New.

Thanks for any help!

I am referring to this message from the GIMP TEAM:

With the debugging system in place to detect a crash, it was easy enough to add crash recovery. In case of a crash, GIMP will now attempt to backup all images with unsaved changes, then suggest to reopen them the next time you start the application.

and your:

App Notes
Installation Note:
GIMP debug files have been removed to save install space. They can be copied from a local 32-bit install for debugging purposes.

GIMP 2.10 claims that it can (try to) recover images upon restarting after a crash.
However, restarting the PAF version gives a message saying that "GIMP was not closed properly on the last time it ran and needs to clean up"
(or something like that).

So, I'm guessing that your standard clean up is preventing the file recovery.

When you start GIMP, you will see it discover and initialize plugins, etc.
On a local installation of GIMP, you will see some Python stuff and (when the GUI is up) you will see:

• Filters>Python-Fu>Console
• Filters>Python-Fu>Console-extended
• (...and any scripts you've added)

On all of the PAF versions of GIMP 2.10-??; this has always been missing.

I'm unable to create new or open existing files without having GIMP crash. Also, I can paste as layers into a new image or as a new image itself just fine, but when I go to either save or export it, GIMP will crash.

For troubleshooting, I executed it using the --verbose command and piped the output to a file. Here is the output:

Hello.
So, I have Premiere CC 2018 portable and I don't have the "Premiere.exe" to open the application (not in the directory \Premiere\Apps\Premiere\Premiere.exe)
What can I do to create an "*.exe" file to open it?

Moved to appropriate forum & locked - mod GC

I upgraded to the latest portable version of gimp 2.10.8 yesterday. However the program will not start at all. i click on the start menu item ( or even execute the exec directly ) and nothing happens. i even did a fresh install and still nothing. 2.10.6 works ok i still have it on another usb.
