Force gimp reload plugins?

Dear developers

Is there a quick way to test (my) plugin when I just have compiled it?

What I do right now is: * compile
* su
* make install
* quit gimp
* start gimp

and it takes forever.

Is there a quicker way? E.g. a way to force gimp to reload the plugins? =)

Hugs, Louise

Once Gimp has been started with the plugin present, you can just replace the executable (make install) and call up the plugin again - Gimp will run the new version. You only need to restart Gimp the first time that you add a new plugin. (As long as the name of the executable and the name of the plugin don't change.)

To be more exact, you don't have to restart GIMP as long as changed plug-in still registers the same procedure and installs the same menu(s).
