3.2.  The Module Manager

Revision History
Revision $Revision: 2438 $ 2008-03-13 ude

With the Module Manager command, you can show the various extension modules which are available and control which of them should be loaded. Modules perform functions such as choosing colors and display filtering. Any changes you make to the settings with the Module Manager command will take effect the next time you start GIMP. These changes affect GIMP's functional capabilities, its size in memory and its start-up time.

Buttons

Query

This button is only visible, when the respective module has not been auto-loaded. When you click on the button, information about the selected module is displayed at the bottom of the dialog, and the button changes to Load.

Load; Unload

Loading modules manually does not work properly. The buttons are useless (“Unload” is even disabled) and will probably removed in future versions.

Refresh

When you click on this button, the list of modules will be updated: modules no longer on disk will be removed, and new modules found will be added.
