GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 711033
"Open recent" hangs when there's files on a missing network share
Last modified: 2018-05-24 14:01:01 UTC
Reproduce: 1. Make sure an element on the "open recent" menu belongs to a network share that has dissapeared. 2. Close and reopen GIMP 3. Try to access "open recent" menu -- it'll hang for like 30s On GIMP 2.9.1 the debug console shows: gimp_imagefile_icon_callback: Error al obtener la informaci¾n del archivo ½\\192 .168.1.25\scan\2013-10-25\Scan20032.JPG╗: No such file or directory The first time GIMP will hang waiting for a timeout while verifying the resource in the non-existent network share. After the first time, subsequent access to this menu are not affected (results cached I guess). This is a common scenario for a laptop because you often open resources from network shares that later are not available.

Hmmm... That's strange. Normally this icon fetching is asynchronous in the code. It should not hang like this. I'll have a look, maybe in a few days, and see if I can reproduce.
Don't we have a really old bug about the same?
Completely forgot about this. Sorry I don't have time to create a new VM and test this these days, but this kind of bug with error message and reproduction steps should be quite easy to debug for a Windows developer. Adding the "newcomers" keyword.
This doesn't happen for me with gimp 2.9.5 unstable 6790938
