Hi, AFAIK, gimp is a multiprocess program. Because for each plugin, it creates a new process. It also uses multithreading. But, AFAIK, using fork and multithreading is not recommended (e.g., look at the second answer here, Is it safe to fork from within a thread? <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6078712/is-it-safe-to-fork-from-within-a-thread>). How does gimp manage that?
