This is a short development update on our progress towards the first release candidate for GIMP 3.0. We recently reached the string freeze milestone. What this means is that there will be no more changes in user-facing text (like GUI labels and messages) so that translators can work on the final translations for the 3.0 release.
Ive noticed that for some reason it launches in 1-2 seconds on Linux Mint as opposed to like 10 on Windows for some reason. Seems weird, since based on the status messages it seems like the rate limiting step is opening a bunch of Python modules, which shouldn’t be drastically different between OSes??
My interpretation has always been that it loads [too] many files. File performance on many [small] files is noticeably, significantly slower on Windows than it is on Linux.
Huh I did not realize that. Is that an NTFS vs. EXT4 thing?
