...So what does your Gimp look like ? Is it bursting with extras or do you like it clean and minimal ?
I have to agree. It is worth looking at what is permanently installed with a view to pruning out the un-used.
Espermachine is an experienced user but for the average Gimp user, my thoughts.
A resources manager is worth installing, I use ofnuts resources manager plugin, which for new gimp users can be found here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-too...s/scripts/ about 20 down, addonCollectionManager-0.3.py
My Gimp, a bit of a disgrace: all those unused scripts / fonts / brushes collected over the years, but they are there when required and not installed, which usually means a faster more reactive Gimp.
Plug-ins are a different category, these are loaded when Gimp starts and can not be swapped in and out on-the-go.
Using Linux I handle these with permissions on/off but Windows users, move in and out of the plug-ins folder or maybe re-name to disable before starting Gimp.
Distilled from all the posts on various forums the main one for Windows users:
Put fonts in the the Gimp profile fonts folder. Very easy to click on a font file and let Windows install into Windows fonts. Some times harder to get rid of it.
