Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gimp
Ubuntu 9.10
Gimp 2.6.7
I have downloaded over 300 Mb of Brushes , extracted them into
.gimp-2.6/brushes , and the size now it`s 1.4 Gb
The problem is that Gimp is loading all the brushes into the RAM, even
if you are not going to use them.
I propose a more elegant solution. That gimp makes a .thumbs 64x64
preview (or whatever the size) of each brush and load the brush file
only when the user need them.
I find it stupid to wait even a minute or so to open the brushes and
wait to load all the brushes, only to use a bunch of them. And when you
are using high quality brush files (2-3 Mb per file) this problem it`s
going to get worse.
I would attach all the brushes , but i don`t think that is a good ideea
to load the launchpad server with a 300 Mb zip file.
