Gimp - Easy Setup

Gimp - Tired of fighting with setup?
You have Gimp just the way you want it . . . all the plug-ins, scripts, fonts, brushes . . .
and you need it on another PC or a new version comes out. Set it up once and save it.

Go to Partha's Place and grab the portable version.
After the zip is downloaded start the program and the "portable" folder will be installed.
May be better SamJ He seems to get new versions out faster. (put addons in "preferences")
As of late SamJ update is hard to find on his site.

Then paste all your favorite stuff here:
Life just became easier.
I save a completed setup on Dropbox for download to different PC.
