Gimp 2.10.32 (rev 1) gimp.org build - Windows 64 bits
From what I can see, the jpgs coming from my camera now became slow to load AND save (loading time 13 sec approx. instead of 2s for other files), it was not the case with the first gimp 2.10.x builds I worked with a year or two ago. I can’t figure out why, other jpgs I have tested, with a similar filesize, are opened and saved way more quickly by gimp.
Both files load reasonably quickly for me in Gimp 2.10.32 (<2s for the biggest one).
For comparison, ImageMagick’s identify -verbose (that uncompresses the file since it does statistics on color channels) runs in 275ms for the small one and 1060ms for the big one.
Is there a difference in the file system used to store the files from your camera?
I’d say that I’m running gimp on one low end computer and one very low end laptop, I guess on a mid end setup loading time is short in any case. Difference in file system, no idea about that, what can I do to know that ?
If you are on Windows: one file system = one drive. A file system can be slow (well on Windows, they all are ) due to device, fragmentation, encryption…
On Linux (and possibly macOS):
df -T /path/to/file
in a terminal will tell you on which/what file system the file is.
looking at the gitlab post, it looks like the exact same problem I have. May I do something to correct my camera’s behaviour with metadata, in your opinion ?
