Anyway, the thing is I am really looking forward to the release of GIMP 2.8 - but every time I visit the "Official schedule for GIMP 2.8" page (http://tasktaste.com/projects/Enselic/gimp-2-8) the release date seems to keep on moving into the future by one or two days!

If bug reports get filed faster than bugs are fixed, this can be a case. The release date shifted backwards few times as well.

My question is, will GIMP 2.8 ever be released?

What do _you_ think? :)

...or should I just download a GIMP 2.7.3 is a development snapshot.

You could give it a try.

I too want GIMP 2.8 but I'm tired of waiting. I know it's a lengthy process but it gets nerve racking waiting do something for over 4 months.

Can anyone give me a compiled version of 2.7.3 that will run side by wide with my 2.6.11 version? If you could, that would be great!

Hi Everyone,

Please accept my apologies if I have got this "posting a question" etiquette wrong, but I've just spent half an hour trying to find some one at GIMP to send my email to.

Many thanks and once again please accept my apologies if I have done this wrong in any way.

Despite of recent advances in science regarding reading and visualizing thoughts it still isn't possible to do that on long distances. Telling us what operating system you run would help :)

http://partha.com/ provides portable builds of most recent GIMP.

Did you try the builds from http://partha.com/ ? Haven't run Windows in a while, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. There's even a portable version that you can put on a USB stick, won't touch your harddrive at all.

I haven't run Windows for a long while too, and thanks for the link. Gonna check that out. This just got interesting.

Well I downloaded the 2.7.4 Portable Build and it's been ~1.5 hours since I started installing it and it's only a little over half way haha! Installing it on a USB stick btw

OK well I finally installed it and I really like it! Although it was laggy beyond belief. That might be because it was running off of the USB stick. Does anyone know if the packages on the Partha website will be able to run side by side with GIMP 2.6.11?

If it truly is a "PortableApp", you should be able to just drag the folder from your stick to e.g. your desktop or something. The gimp executable should be in the "bin" subfolder.

On a related note, I see there's a GIMP 2.7.3 at the original PortableApps.com site:
http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/gimp_portable

Anyone know the difference between the versions?

The obvious, Parthas is version 2.7.4 and the portableapps is 2.7.3

Installed in a winxp sp2 VM. Neither use win registry nor require a user .gimp directory. Tried Parthas on a USB stick, not going to break any speed records.

Some stats, Partha includes locales by default whereas p_apps has extra languages as an install option. Taking those out, Partha about 4500 files and 132MB p_apps 2300/125MB.

Starting up, Partha does not have the Gimp debug console showing, p_apps does

Partha has a black theme as default, popular these days, not my cup of tea, the menu fonts in particular looks off. Easy to fix either with the included small icons theme or just graft in a regular theme.

Python. Both have python installed. Partha includes a dozen extra python plugins. In the winxp sp2 VM no python on either, the p_apps debug console says "bad interpreter referenced ..." nothing obvious in Partha.

Giving them another chance, in my regular WinXP sp3 machine, which has a Gimp 2.6.11 +python installation, Partha python working, but the same error messages for p_apps. Can't be bothered to sort it out.

Single window mode works for both, not that it is a big attraction for me, used Gimp for some time now and I am comfortable with original format.
