3.21. Modules

With the Modules 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.

The window of the Module Manager shows the loadable modules.

Clicking on the boxes in the first column of the modules list will check or uncheck the modules. The next time you start GIMP, any checked module will be loaded.

Du vil ikkje oppdaga skilnaden før du prøver å ta modulane i bruk. Det er for eksempel mange fargeveljarar for å velje forgrunnsfarge eller bakgrunnsfarge. Noen av desse er modular som bare er tilgjengelege når dei er aktiverte i modulhandteraren:

For loaded modules, information about the selected module is displayed at the bottom of the dialog.

In the second column, for each loaded module the purpose of the module is shown. For any module, that is not loaded, the directory path of this module is shown.

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