Gimp very slow loading extension_script_fu!

Thanks all for replying. I can live with it. But I do hope it can get better in future releases.

It can sometimes take a while to load, there are a lot of plugins and extensions to be loaded.

Plug-ins are only loaded (started and queried) if they are not cached from the last startup. Checking the plug-in executables should not take longer than a few seconds except on the first start.

Loading the Script-Fu extension takes a considerable amount of time but it should be definitely less than a minute.

I usually run the gimp with options not to load all the extensions (although this can sometimes have annoying side effects when extensions expect everything to be preloaded).

Your command-line doesn't keep extensions from being started, you only disable loading of data (which will be loaded anyway later) and fonts (text tool won't work).

You can do this too by using the following command line arguements:

gimp --no-data --no-splash --no-fonts

Hi! I am new.

I have Fedora Core 3 and Gimp 2.24. I have a small problem here. Every time I start Gimp, the splash screen would freeze a minute or more showing 'loading extension_script_fu'. Do others have same experience or do I need to do someting on my computer?

Thanks.

Give it a try and decide if it works well enough for you. I find the improvement in startup speed very helpful and worth any minor inconveniences but your mileage may vary.
