--- Comment #4 from BOF <bugs_kde_org.5.k...@spamgourmet.com> --- Created attachment 166470 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=166470&action=edit system monitor - GIMP dropped layer (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > Are you dragging the files from Dolphin or the Plasma desktop? > > What kind of files are you dragging? Does it happen with all files and file > types tested, or only some? In the video example I was dragging the files from the Plasma desktop. But the crash can also be reproduced with drag&drop from Dolphin. In the example it was png files, but I got the same result with jpg files. In general the crash happens with all files. Sometimes Plasma crashes with the same files in one session but only imports one image as >100 layers the next time after a reboot. Some different behaviour could be related to png files or large tiff files as they tend to crash GIMP less often (but crash plasma nonetheless). This _could_ also be related to their resolution since it seems to be less problematic when you drop a file with smaller resolution on a bigger with larger resolution. HOWEVER: This is just wild speculation on my part. You have to drop the file *in the layers section* for the bug to occur. When I drop the file in the main window (where you see your image) there is no crash. I closely watched the system monitor and as you drop the file you can see that the used RAM shoots up. Once the application hits around ~4GB in size, plasma crashes. (No idea if there is a RAM limit for individual applications or if this could be related to 32bit architecture or library somewhere) In the attached image I was able to snapshot a moment when GIMP opened >100 tasks and the RAM shot up to ~11 GB (was at ~400 MB with only one image) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
