GIMP Portable 2.10.0 browsing of files not working

I haven't used GIMP in while as I didn't have a need for it, was mainly using GIMP 2.8.20 to help document my work. Anyway, tried a new version of GIMP 2.10 today from PortableApps.com and it looks pretty good. The issue is that browsing does not work. It is big inconvenience, I can open files via drag-and-drop, so it is a little workable. The good news is that upgrade is available, go ahead to SourceForge to get the new version. I have upgraded to GIMPPortable_2.10.0-2 and it works like a champ.

Main download location:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/GIMP%20Portable/
Version that I am using that has the fix for browsing:

Enable Retina display on macOS VMware Fusion VM

By default, macOS (tested on 10.2.3) VM using VMware Fusion is not using Retina display. To enable high display resolution, do:

1. On the macOS host machine, open VMware Fusion Preferences ( VMware Fusion | Preferences... )
2. In Display selection, set Single Window to "Resize the virtual machine and the window" and Full Screen to "Resize the virtual machine and the window". See figure below for reference.

3. In VMware Fusion, select the machine in the library ( Window | Virtual Machine Library ) 
4. In Virtual Machine Library, select the macOS guest VM then select Virtual Machine | Settings...
5. In System Settings area, select display icon 

6. Then in Display, select Use full resolution for Retina display

7. Power up the macOS VM and install VMware Tools
8. Once tools installation is complete, open terminal and type

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool true

9. Logout and log back in
10. In the VM System Preferences | Display, select Resolution to Scaled and the resolution marked HiDPI.

11. Done

What is 169.254.x.x IPv4 address?

169.254.x.x is a link-local IP address that gets assigned automatically when, generally, DHCP is not available. On Windows operating system, this is called APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing). RFC 3927 defines the 169.254.0.0/16 address block for use in the link-local assignments. Note that routers are not supposed to route traffic from this address block.

Running Macintosh inside your USB

I have come across this post today and it seems interesting. It allows you to run Macintosh upto 7.5. There is a sample image here. I had difficulty following the instruction from minivmac site due to .sim.bin file that I can't manipulate in Windows. Even Stuffit Expander does not really help when running in Windows.
