I noticed a very strange thing in windows 10 , GIMP 2.10.36
When ofn-export-layers is running (writing files) and I enter text anywhere on my computer, it adds characters I don't enter on my
keyboard like: ~ and ' and many more. So if I write "test", it adds random character in "test" which I dont really enter...
When ofn-export-layers has finished, this strange thing dissapears and I can enter text normally
Also ofn-export-layers runs very slow. Is this related to this?
I wanted to ask if the developer can tell me what this problem could be and if ofn-export-layers can be made faster (if possible).
So I need to wait to enter text anywhere until ofn-export-layers finished his work.
ofn-export-layers doesn't even remotely handles the keyboard. All it sees are text parameters. Unless its a problem because your PC is maxed out while it runs and some keybaord drivers misbehaves?
ofn-export-layers is a "script", which means it's mostly glue binding together bits of code that do the real job (here, Gimp exporting to PNG). PNG export is slow, especially when you use max compression settings, while high compression settings don't do much good.
So, reducing your PNG compression level to 5 or so it likely going to speed up things, while reducing the CPU load and potentially mitigating your first problem.
