  I downloaded a few hunded gradients and I placed them in the gradient folder and many brushes in the brush folder. I do not always use gradients or brushes, but they load up anyway when Gimp starts. Is there a way to design Gimp to make only place them on RAM when they are in use? It seems like Gimp is starting to develop a memory issue.
