Hi there,

I have GIMP Portable 2.8.2 on my machine.

I downloaded Help for GIMP 2.8.0, and GAP for GIMP 2.6 (as I believe these are the latest versions, and are compatible with 2.8.2).

Problem was that I had no success in installing these, in spite of my attempts. Is it possible to install these to GIMP Portable ?

Further, are these indeed the latest versions ?

thanks,
Andrew

The help from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/files/ should work but you should enter in Gimp /edit preference and set in Help the option "web browser to use" web browser..because the default can't work since in the windows version there is no any gimp brower to use

And for gap Gap 2.6 it works, is quite old but still there are not new stable version but may be difficult find the download link, for the 32bit i was hosting GAP 2.6 on http:/photocomix_resources.deviantart.com/gallery

A more recent version 2.7 (not officially a stable version but seems working well , even if display a load of flashing black windows when loading is here ) at 32bit is http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pa ... z/download

Last for 64bit you may found GAP.26 at http://samjcreations.blogspot.it/

instead the version of Gap that you may found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/files/ is from 2005 and can't work with modern gimp

lol,mathman has the same message on several forums, still don't know which version of windoze he is using. Just make sure that the path to the gimp file system is correct. The same applies to GAP. I lashed up a video last night with some pointers for anyone interested.

Nice one, rich2005.

well i have no even clear what portable version is (from partha for portableapps.. )

luckily in this case does not much the difference is not relevant and the how to is the same

Thank you PC, and Rich...I was really in a mess till I found this video...thank you both!

I now have GAP and alllll the extras, but not sure where to put the tutorial doc.
I did get HELP to show in my gimp from watching the video, but still not sure where to put the tutorial docs?
For now I just have them on my desktop.

UPDATE:...I am having a problem with creating a spinning pole following a tutorial, as mentioned below a few posts....hope I can sort that out and it seems like this will be a bunch of fun.

What tutorial docs are you referring to Gramg

oh that is a document, i mean a very complete tutorial on GAP
Now i can't remember if was in html format or what, if there is a file with a html extension click on that and the page should open automatically in your browser

Ohh i almost forget do not separate that file from its related "image" folder or all illustrations will get lost

now i could not remember if was also a PDF version included i lost access to that account long ago but the manual is still valid
in case also the PDF should open automatically clicking on it

And in case are both are equivalent, the content is identical just chose what you find easier to open

It is all good with the docs and I can read them well...I will just keep them on my desktop...I thought maybe somehow I could install them to Gimp Help but I am not sure how to do that...but they are fine where they are.

The problem now is I can not do this tutorial right...

I get all of the striped squares above my one cylinder, as happened to Molly back some time ago.
I am reading all of the helping pages from back then to try to figure out how to fix things.
Other than that...all looks good.

Rod had many suggestions back then...I have not finished reading everything to see what the final outcome was.

I installed exactly as the video showed with the same downloads mentioned.

When that happened to me. I deleted everything including that 00000001.xcf folder and started again and it was okay the second time around.
