thank you guys for reporting this. It's indeed an issue.
We have filed some bugs with at least one solution proposal:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330099
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721184

IMHO all possible solutions be checked. Perhaps we find more in this
thread.
I'm for using the keyword 'performance' for all performance related
issues in Bugzilla, so the related bugs could be fixed in one go.
My 2p for now.

Greetings

Sven

Lucky me:  I just clocked GIMP opening time at 45 seconds with:

GIMP 2.8.10, every plugin set in the Debian/Ubuntu repos and a /lot/
of brushes and fonts, on a system with a 64 bit AMD dual core CPU,
1.75 GB memory and the Mint 17 OS.

An option to save and reload the data that the GIMP rebuilds every
time it opens would be more helpful to some than others.  With
loading times up to 3 minutes 20 seconds, it could be called "make
or break."

[Gimp-user] Moving a rectangle to clone

[Gary Montalbine]

I am using Gimp 2.8.14 in Mageia 5. I am using the rectangle clone tool 
to select an area in a photograph (.xcf file). I then use the move tool 
to place it in an area I want to overwrite. This is the procedure 
outlined in the manual. 
http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-using-selections.html. This is a 
procedure I have used many times. Suddenly it does not work. The move 
tool does not move my selection. It moves the whole image and the 
rectangle does not move. I would really like to get this to work. The 
paintbrush does not do a good job when a large area needs to be changed. 
Help greatly appreciated for a non tech type.

Gary

Not easier for me at all. I usually already know what font I want to use. If I
don't, I go to a file I have created where I have lines of "The quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog" in every font I have on my system (and I have further
organized these lines into serif, sans, mono, script, and "odd"). This file
shows me what every font I have looks like in a-z lowercase. Though I didn't
realize I could type the name into the text selection tool. So I do thank you
for that.

The journal to which I have submitted the paper needs me to write something
as:

GIMP 2.6.11, company name, town, state (if USA), country.

Any suggestions?


I would write:

[Gimp-user] Manufacturer information GIMP

[Paula Tavares]

Dear GIMP users,

I have used GIMP to produce images that were used in a research project.

The journal to which I have submitted the paper needs me to write 
something as:


GIMP 2.6.11, company name, town, state (if USA), country.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your help  :-)

Best Wishes.

Paula Tavares
