Re: [Gimp-user] 2.8 rc1 on XP
The problem appears to be unrelated to ufraw. I've removed all versions/relics of gimp and ufraw that I can find: uninstall, plus remove directories remove registry entries reboot Are there particular .dlls or anything else I need to remove that the uninstall process might leave around that would cause trouble, such as .dlls? I've searched specifically for bzip2.dll, and there is a copy associated with another program in a program-specific directory (\Program Files\EASEUS) unrelated to gimp. When I run the install (using normal install, although custom fails as well), it appears to install correctly. However: It does not create a desktop shortcut (Should it, in the default install?) It creates only a single entry in the start menu, labelled GIMP 2. In particular, no subitems, such as uninstall (should it?) A possible issue -- this is running booted from an F: drive, with no C: or D: drive on the machine. Reinstalling GIMP 2.7.5 works fine: creates a desktop shortcut creates a start menu item with three subitems Gimp-2.7.5, Uninstall, Website loads and runs fine I don't know how closely the 2.8 rc1 install should mirror 2.7.5 Thanks for any insights...

I've been running 2.7.5 for a while but when I tried installing the 2.8 rc1 I'm having problems. The gimp comes up ok, but when I attempt to load a .jpg file it hangs; as I recall it's spinning its wheels in ufraw-gimp.exe (I forgot to write down the exact name, but I think that's it). ufraw-gimp.exe is a third-party plug-in to load RAW files. If it has registeres itself as a file loader for JPEG files (quite possible) and fails*, then this may cause the problem you've mentioned. You should remove this plug-in from the plug-ins directory and try again. *The fact the this plug-in ships with its own copy of bzip2.dll has cause problems in the past. Re-installing the current, but pretty old version of it may fix the problem - or cause additional problem in GIMP.

Re: [Gimp-user] 2.8 rc1 on XP
That's a separate topic, but ... I'm trying to update and expand a script-fu that I created years ago in GIMP 2.4, and after several iterations of test/tweak/refresh scripts, 2.8.0-RC1 just up and crashes. By now, it's also my first script-fu that actually needs to query what version of GIMP it's running on before operating (I wish I was making that up). -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth.
