Hi, I use a photo cataloging program called IDimager as a 'front end' for Gimp.This program displays thumbnails of the complete directory (with star ratings, etc.), and is a very convenient way of identifying photos. Since changing to v2.4, a fresh instance of the Gimp is started for each new photo that I open. Previously with v2.2x it was a dream.Once it had opened Gimp for the first picture, from then on it quickly loaded new photos into the existing instance of Gimp. Now that it opens a fresh instance of Gimp for each photo, it is obviously slower and uses excessive system resources.
The only change I have made is going from Gimpv2.2 to v2.4. IDimager has not been updated. I did not configure v2.2 specially, but wonder if there is a way to configure v2.4 to behave similarly. Incidentally, another thumbnail viewer I have used is Faststone thumbnail viewer. That opened a fresh instance of Gimp with v2.2 as well. I would appreciate any help - even if it means using a different thumbnail viewer. Thanks for any help Peter Taylor _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
