@Partha
Partha ... are you stressed ? you seems a bit overeacting !
I DID read that before on the gimprc file AND in your previous identical reply , the problem is that YOU ignored MY previous reply !


Let the fact talk ... please check THIS ! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RM82QYEE

it is GimPortable, it is still portable even if inside (in App/Share ) i added a "extra" folder, with inside GAP. MathMap and i forgot what else...and it is still fully portable just try on your PC if you still don't believe me !

You may unzip it where you like ,it doesn't matter ...you may add more "hardcoded "paths for the other extra subfolders in "extra"...maybe some plugin will not work for missing dependency or because for 2.7 ,i could not care less care since is a quick proof of concept... the point is that the new paths are preserved and the default path don't get lost

@Rod


Actually there is a much more clean and easier way:
move everything to GimPortable 2.6 or even 2.7.3 ,they will work and remain portable without require any user fiddling, the disadvantage missed support for Python (and so for gurm, shell out, gimpscripter and openraster and swf export)

But i hope that Partha will solve i like more his builds

PS
The ZIP i uploaded it is a dirty, (GAP and MM works not sure for the rest ) is just to proof that a portable remain portable even if the user changes something in the preferences...

A cleaner hack would not require much longer time, but a inner voice keep telling me about a "xcf template" priority..
