Since upgrading to 10.4.11, the Gimp no longer works. When I try to open it, it says "caching fonts", and never moves on. I have tried installing to the newest version, but it didn't help. What is my problem?
I posted to Gimp User Group and found the solution. iTOtto suggested that the first start of Gimp after 10.4.11 update takes a long time. On my system it was well over a minute sitting on caching fonts. Then, like magic, it starts (for me at least).
Well, you guys, I'm a novice here- I don't even hardly understand the jargon used, let alone what the heck is going on.What I do resonate with is your discussion around 10.4.11. So was that a software update after I downloaded and installed Tiger? I really don't remember. What I know is that there are several
programs not working, like Safari. It always "closes unexpectedly" and won't open. Also, Firefox won't open-and it disappeared as well; nowhere to be seen. Quicktime, not working. Some 3rd party icons disappeared off my dock and I have put them back up using 'option' and dragging them from applications. I have been deleting files as Opera is my working browser and it freezes at will. Microsoft Office for Mac doesn't work, either. Maybe I should contact a tech to guide me through this mess as I have no confidence in my ability to follow directions and do it myself.
Tried your suggestion, opened up Gimp and waited a minute and all was fine. After that I opened up Gimp-Shop and that took like 10 sec and then it opened up fine also. Thanks.
