Even that was very good advice! I downgraded to 2.8.0 and am happy camper :-)

Thanx to Stratadrake

Subject: [Gimp-user] gimp long opening after changing the settings

Hello,

I changed settings in GIMP program, specifically the path to the palletes. Right after that GIMP started opening many minutes. Then I changed the path to the original one (didnt help), then I uninstalled and installed and it is still taking for ages to open this program. I am desperate. Should I edit registry or what should I do?

Thank you for any advice.

If we had a dollar for every time somebody thinks uninstalling/reinstalling will ever solve anything....

There seems to be an issue in GIMP 2.8.6 with plugins during its startup routine where it manually queries every plugin at every startup (instead of just checking for new/updated plugins like it should do).
