A peculiarity of this version is that can be started in 2 very different mode as were 2 different versions of gimp


start-gimp by PhotoComiX, on Flickr


1 A Basic NO_Extra mode 1 thats load faster with menu not bloated by other script,...basic but complete, include:

a recent Help (not the standard from the Help Installer for win that is still the old for 2.6),
support for python
,ufraw to open photo from camera,
and a script to Save and Export simultaneity




2) or as Gimp_PhotoComix_Lab that integrate the best plugin script and addon for Photo( all types of photo editing ) and "Comix", the word is used here in a broader sense to indicate digital sketching, painting and graphic

GAP
Liquid Rescale
Resythesizer
Filter Factory Transformer (aka Userfilter)
Beautify
Mathmap
GPS (gimp_paint-studio)
Export as SWF (flash animation)

and many other plugin and scripts, as example to correct white balance, color temperature, add frame, hidden or visible watermark, copyright note,

Could something be missing?

everything was missed , something very wrong happened during the upload.
i deleted the file and i am uploading again just now.

EDIT
still fighting for upload,last failed at 98%.

I should start to use SFTP (problem are with normal HTML upload) that will be much better and would allow a checksum
but i am not sure on how to properly set up Filezilla (my ftp client)

EDIT
Damn! Upload failed again ! please be patient !

EDIT
new update
save for the web was not working, now fixed
for the rest, content is the same but file is 60MB smaller thank to a better compression

Everything is looking good except for problems with Help
I have:
- user manual: Use locally installed copy
- Help browser: Gimp help browser

The Help file comes up but everything is blank. On the index pane (left side) if I click I see a selection being made but no text shown. I tried d-click in the index but still nothing shown.

From Process Explorer - Properties - Image this is the command line that's been used:
D:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\GIMP-PC_Lab-2.8.2-32bits\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\help-browser.exe -gimp 10 8 -run 0
Current directory: D:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\GIMP-PC_Lab-2.8.2-32bits\bin\

FWIW: I also d/l'd Samj's: gimp_2_8_2-1_Samj_32bits and with Help preferences set as above see the same symptoms.

Forgot this ... on first run I got a popup for the "Save for web with Riot ..."
As it suggested, I closed Gimp, completed its install. Upon restart I have that entry under <image>Files and it appears to work but the Riot installer prompt is being shown every time I restart Gimp from "_Start_Gimp_PC-Lab_English.bat"

Bonjour,

@Alec Burgess

About Help :

@Alec Burgess
All the problems you reported are already fixed in the last version i uploaded yesterday
But since is a big file you may prefer do not download again and fix your copy

1) Help
as Samj explained the "Browser to use" must be set on "Web browser"

If you do you may be surprised because Help will NOT open in new tab or window in IE (or Firefox or what other web brower you use) instead you will see something as



2) Save for the Web (Riot)
the problem was a missed DLL, now is fixed :
i included the dll here as attachment so you may just unzip and place in gimp/photocomix/plug-ins/_Preinstalled/utils

PS
i already asked (on flickr):
At soon installed the first time you call the Help, it should open out of the box, the correct option should be the default

Didn't happened to You ?

Also there is much confusion about the Gimp browser:
It was removed from Gimp years ago, i found that still work so i included in my first version , but i removed because i prefar the Help in chm, that Gimp

I just dl the package an hour ago but I am seeing the riot install program. This looks like a standard windows install to "program files" which should not be part of a portable. I did not let it continue the install of riot.

I switched to "web brouser" and still got a blank page. It did not work at all unless I put your gimp folder in the c:\ directory.

When I start the lab program, I don't have any dockables on the right side. If I switch off single window mode, I see the window and the title says "Laters - Error"

Running WindowsXP

THANK TO REPORT !
I fixed but you don't need to wait and download again:
delete " Riot-plugin.exe" from PhotoComix/plug-ins/_preinstalled/utils.
Riot is already installed "Riot-plugin.exe" is not the plugin but its installer



That is weird..more exactly seems as the preference is on "gimp browser" are you sure to have applied the change in preferences ?(if you close preferences dialog clicking on the X changes may be not applied
Or...maybe you placed Gimp in "Program Files" ? For xp is not relevant but in Vista and 7 you may place this GIMP where you wish EXCEPT then Program Files, because a Windows lock is there and may block some needed changes



This is even more strange
In the presentation i wrote that gimp could be loaded in 2 different modes , but was a simplification, 2 are the basics, but there are more language options

To the point :
if you started Gimp in PC_Lab mode , from _Start_Gimp_PC-Lab_English.bat you may try again but this time using
_Start_Gimp_PC-Lab.bat (or in case vice versa )

the difference is that _Start_Gimp_PC-Lab.bat start the program with the language indicate in the computer language setting
(i.e in french for french users, spanish for spanish users ..) the other will instead always use English

Language has no directly nothing to do with dock,I am asking to try the other bat file, to check if the file was somehow corruptedno much probable that both got corrupted in the same way causing same problem

If the problem remain could you please take some screenshot at least 1 of all gimp , the other with the error message (s)

Again thank a lot to you and Alec Burgess for the feedback, i was really disappointed for the lack of comment..not only emotionally but because feedback help a lot to find bugs and fix them.



If that doesn't solve
