If it's stable enough, I'll do a general release of it (be forwarned, though, that this may increase support requests as it'll find its way into more users hands).

If you're able to update to 2.2.13, I'll package up a version with a new-style launcher and a custom splash (for GIMPShop) and drop it in the forums as a test release. I'm updating the plugins cache before starting GIMP so that it won't have to re-find all it's plugins. I'm in the process of updating GIMP Portable to 2.2.13 and introducing an updated launcher that should greatly speed startup times. The instructions online were outdated and failed about 1/2 way through.
#Gimpshop download vista how to
I even tried to learn how to compile GIMP so I could take a stab at updating GIMPShop, but no dice. I actually thought GIMPShop on Windows had been abandoned, since nothing had been done on it in quite a while. Perhaps it is the MDI addon that's doing it, as GIMP itself is quite stable and works with no issues on these same boxes. I'm not sure why it's so unstable, but the Windows releases crash as soon as I try to draw on both my XP systems and on my Win2K test box. GIMPShop works portably using the standard GIMP Portable launcher bits, so there's not much work to be done other than packaging it up. I'll also take a stab at a Windows Installer and a portable version. I'm going to update Gimpshop source to 2.2.13 within the next few days and will give you guys a heads-up when it's ready. Basically, I replaced Gimp's hard-coded English language menus with Photoshop-style alternatives. Gimpshop's menus are currently in American English no matter what language environment your computer uses. That said, Gimpshop is unfortunately not language-friendly. Gimpshop's ONLY changes to the GIMP source are changes to text strings (that and a different splash screen). The differences are solely cosmetic with regards to menu layout, window names and tool names. Otherwise, Gimpshop source is nearly identical to Gimp source in every way. I think this is the result of the way it was compiled and the MDI that was added by the guys that ported the source code. The Gimpshop packages that are out there for Windows are admittedly unstable.
I created the Gimp fork known as Gimpshop.
Hi guys, I just wanted to weigh in so that you have all the info you need about Gimpshop source and hopefully making it a portable app.
