GIMP slow because of Network Drives
Hello all,
I installed GIMP in my University Laptop, where I have some mounted network drives. But these drives can only be accessed if I am connected through a VPN. Normally I don't want to use these network often and therefore I don't connect VPN, which keeps these network drives disconnected. What happens now is that GIMP dialog boxes (especially open, save, export) are really slow (takes 30 minutes to just open the dialog boxes), whenever the network drives are disconnected. I can't be connected to VPN all the time, because it slows down my internet terribly and I can't access some websites as well.
Can you guys please suggest me a workaround where GIMP doesn't have to be concerned by these network drives? For your information all my picture files are stored in my local machine's hard drives.
Regards Ramesh
