Don
this is the launcher, guess they call it the" platform" now.
--- Code: ---https://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures
--- End code ---
download it to your desktop and install it to your desktop.
browse and install other apps by using the options on the right hand pane of the newly installed launcher platform.
sorry, I was not too explicit in my previous post.
DC:
I don't understand Willie, what does this 'launcher' do? I downloaded "Gimp" from their website, it seems to work fine.
willie:
don , if you are using gimp as a portable app, be aware that it might be a cut down version, so if you are missing some functionality you might have to get a version from the creators w ww.gimp.org. of course it would be just like any other install to windows
the portable app project ports versions of many linux applications in a portable format that can be kept on the desktop without actually installing in the usual windows way.
the launcher is not neccesary, but it gives you a way to organize, down load and install multiple portable apps. The original idea was to keep all of these apps on a thumb drive that you could use on any windows computer without having to install the apps on each computer. of course they run faster if you keep them in a folder instead of on a thumbdrive
seems like you have got gimp working by itself, which works fine, just a bit of work figuring it out. cool
inkscape might also be useful, and the launcher is an easy to try and remove many of the apps available
SLIMBOB:
I'm a gimp guy.
DC:
Yeah it seems to be working for me. I can't seem to find the colours for the paintbrush and pen though. I want to be able to clearly mark the tips and center of the handle so I can make sure its overlaid accurately.
