I did it again tonight under almost identical circumstances: Similar background picture, similar text (only four text layers this time, though): No 'sluggishness', no problems with saving - so in some way it remains a mystery what happened last time!? /Hans ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] gimp crashed while saving
Thanks for prompt reply - I'll (attempt to) look into mentioned updates.
BTW: What is XCF?? :)
I might add the information that prior to my first 'save as'-attempt(s), the
computer began acting rather 'sluggishly': Even simple(?) tasks took VERY
long time to accomplish - it felt like running short on RAM??
I'm in no way any kind of expert on graphics handling, but during GIMP
installation I got the impression that some kind of 'virtual memory' ('swap')
was being allocated (64 MB?)
I don't know the specific memory requirements for the transactions I
performed, but intuitively they would seem 64 MB!?
Does this shed any more light over the matter? :)
Happy Easter,
Hans

There is a a couple known bugs in SuSE dealing with JPEGs. I can't imagine
that being the problem since you are going to save this as a XCF so you
keep your layer support, but SuSE updates for the JPEG libraries might
still be worth looking into.

How many pixels are these JPEGs? The original picture (background layer) is 542 kB. With the four added layers it's 1.4 MB, altogether. How much memory do you have? About 328 MB. Do you run with your home directory mounted from another machine (NFS, Samba, etc)? No. /Hans ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] gimp crashed while saving
This evening I installed GIMP 2.0 under SuSE 9.2/KDE3.3.0 I wanted to add some text layers to a .jpg-file - five layers altogether. When I attempted 'save as' GIMP crashed, and all my work was gone! :( One more attempt ended same way - finally I got through by saving one layer at a time! I am wondering if this is normal GIMP behavio(u)r?? Regards, Hans ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
