ofnuts Addon Manager problem (Fonts only)
#1
Problem: sometimes im unable to deactivate font folder.
It processes, but never finishes.

Deleting the .active file doesnt help.

I always find a copy of the folder in the 'gimp2.8 User/fonts' folder.
Deleting this folder-copy and the .active file solves the problem.

It seems this occurs, when i add a folder with the manager and quit Gimp.
After the restart i cant disable the folder.

But this behaviour is not with every folder.
Some work and some dont as if it depends on the fonts inside the folder.

This never happens with other assets like brushes, pattern, gradients.

Is this perhaps related to the font name or when i have a font installed on my windows7 system and the same font in an active font_storage ?

This is a Windows issue, I mentioned it in this (too long - boring) video http://youtu.be/v0g0qv4YMks something to do with Windows keeping the open font files active until next time you boot Windows.
