This could be useful in various scenarios:
Still a lot of files - 11000+ not quite a straight gimp installation but can be sorted.Įxtracted to a folder on the desktop (as Winusers tend to do) All there but for you to sort out.Starting with 1.70 drivers I've implemented the option to apply addons at driver installation. Unpacking the Gimp 2.9.8 Windows installer from Recommend UniExtract as a front-end to Inno. Unpacking Gimp 2.9 - a bit easier than Gimp 2.8 which contains both 32/64 bit versions. (everything else goes to the installation drive) Monitoring just C: a utility WinTools report: all the files (.dog) zipped - just plain text. Installing Gimp 2.9.8 to a drive other than C: results in about 40 registry entries and a few temporary files. There are utilities to monitor an installation. Unlike a lot of pay-for applications mostly uninstaller information. I would not worry too much about Gimp and excess files and registry entries. This is not really suitable for General Questions, but we do not yet have a section for Obscure. However, for right now the question is will InnoExtract work on existing GIMP distribution packages? I'm guessing this should not be too difficult for GIMP. This works pretty good when installers don't need to make revisions to the underlying OS which is normally the case for software designed to run on multiple platforms (i.e., Windows, Linux, OSX, etc.). tar, etc.) that can be unpacked without running an installer. Another common approach is for the package to be distributed as an archive (e.g. There is a tool that can be used for this purpose if the installer is created using Inno Setup. I have no idea what other things the GIMP installer might be doing but it would be better not to run the installer. However, installers are able to do other things that are NOT desired in this case.
In this case portable means install on a secondary drive so that the same instance of GIMP can be used on different computers and/or systems.Īt present the method of unpacking the files from the normal GIMP distribution package involves running the installer which allows for placing the files on a secondary drive. Per this post I've now been able to configure GIMP to run, on Windows, in portable fashion.
