How To Convert A PortableApps.com Install To PhotoGIMP?

[JazzMartian]

If you would post instructions for how to make a PortableApps.com set of folders into a PhotoGIMP build I would really appreciate it!

Hi! Thanks for remembering that I rewrote the README.md. I found it to be much too extensive and overly precise, so I left it there for the time being, didn't tell anyone about it, and then other things happened.

Here’s your How-To:

1. Find out where your 2.10 folder equivalent is.
2. Copy essential config files.
3. Enjoy Image MadZipulation.

Hi! First, please accept my apology for the late reply. I wanted to first see if I had any issues before replying, so I might not be a bother with multiple emails, and I ended up forgetting. Anyways, I ended up getting everything essential working perfectly, really quickly and easily. Thank you very much! :) But, there are two files that are optional to copy over, that I wasn't able to figure out where to put. I still would like to know where to place them. If you wouldn't mind helping me out with that, I would greatly appreciate it. As far as the first file, org.gimp.GIMP.desktop: The documentation states that it should go in $HOME/.local/share/applications/, but I don't have any "applications" folders in my PortableApps.com setup. I don't know if this makes any sense, but for now I threw it in a folder that also has a file called file-desktop-link.exe in it...cause sir, this is a Wendy's. The path to it is: S:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp32\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\file-desktop-link\ So after I eventually end up placing it where it should go, should I put my path: S:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\GIMPPortable.exe\ next to Exec= when I edit org.gimp.GIMP.desktop? I did use the PhotoGIMP by Diolinux v2020 for Flatpak.zip files. Lastly, as far as the .icons/photogimp.png file is concerned, the documentation stated to copy it to $HOME/.icons/, but I don't have any .icons folder. I do have a few different folders called icons. I ended up placing it in the path: S:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\Data\.gimp\icons\ This particular icons folder was in the same path where the GIMP console identified that all of the other files should be placed. My apologies if this is a lot, or if the formatting is a bother. I wasn't sure of a better way. I know the files aren't necessary, but I really do want to know where to place them regardless, if it's not too much trouble! Thanks again!

Hello.

As a Windows user you don’t need the file org.gimp.GIMP.desktop. It is for XDG compatible desktop environments like GNOME, KDE, Xfce, etc.

Windows uses file shortcuts (*.LNK) instead.

You also don’t need the photogimp.png image file. If you want you could convert it to an *.ICO file and set it as a shortcut’s icon. But GIMP will not use it.

The folder S:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\Data\.gimp\icons\ is for icons used by GIMP’s GUI, see here.

Have fun!
