Hi,
A version of GIMP focused on painting and drawing called Artbox, using the latest GIMP code with new features added. An AppImage is also available for Linux systems. It is improved to work better on 4K screens and it includes plug-ins Almost Autosave and Incremental Saving amongst others. Custom made themes replace the default GIMP themes.
Created because it is enjoyable to make your own stuff and shared because that's what FOSS is about.
I've used it every day for months, so it is a well tested but not perfect, more insights and feedback are welcome. It's an ongoing project.
Visit the Artbox site for more information, https://script-fu.github.io/artbox/

Move tool very slow |

I switched to a Linux a couple of month ago (Mint 22.1/Cinnamon) and so far everything is going reasonably well. Coming from Win10 and doing a good deal of photo editing, the only fly in the ointment is that I have to give up on Affinity Photo (doesn't run under Wine for me, so still dual booting for that purpose).
Naturally, I'm looking into GIMP as a replacement and I have installed the 3.0 RC3 flatpak. But there's a bit of a hiccup that bothers me to no end and keeps me from making a serious attempt at starting to learn the software: when I load an image and want to move it around with the Move tool, it is very slow (from dragging the mouse a small amount to the image jumping into position, it takes about 2 seconds). Other tools, like the paint brush or healing brush seem to work quick and without delay (AMD Ryzen 5700, 64 GB Ram, NVME drive).
I searched around for a solution and came across some posts discussing GIMP being slow, but none of that really applied to my situation. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the flatpak, and I played around with the Tile Cache Size (set it to 32 GB, half my system RAM), but all to no avail. The same image (a roughly 6000 x 4000 jpg) loaded into Krita can be moved around smoothly and without any delay.
Would appreciate any pointers what else to look into.
