opening files includs a long wait after the progressbar reaches 100%
Last modified: 2004-12-06 10:32:48 UTC
when opening a file using File->Open the progress bar runs from 0% to 100%, stays at 100% for a few seconds (feels like nothing is happening forever) and then the image opens. this is not a real bug but i can imagine people will think of gimp as slow when it comes to opening files.
You could have read the release notes. That would have saved us and you some time. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 143668 ***
