Possible way to speed things up on user side

Using paint shop pro 10.

i noticed something i thought a bit odd on the user side. when i have a picture loaded in psp 10 and call up the plugin, the plugin defaults to whatever the default filter is in FF. this forces FF to render immediately on loading. if that particular filter is not the one i want, this just slows everything down and adds an unnecessary action. if there was a blank default that didnt render anything when you first call up FF, this would speed the loading of the plugin. often, the thumbnails are trying to load at the same time as the main window is rendering whatever the default filter is and thus the thumbs take a while to load while the main window is rendering. and in a very large file this could take a while.

vladimir,

yes, i found that out; just change a setting and things start rendering all over again. that's fine. what i'm talking about is the initial FF bootup. since your default filter is one of those very slow texture filters, this is adding a LOT of unnecessary time in loading up FF. stick a blank image in there as the default at startup. that's all.
