Created with GIMP.
Did you know that the feature request for an autosave feature is allowed to drink alcohol is the US as of last year? In Germany it could get a truck license.
I’ve literally never had that problem. Not once.
Did this fix your issue, OP?
I’ve literally had that problem. More than once.
I’ve literally never had that problem. And I think I’ve used GIMP once.
I’ve literally had this problem, and I’ve never used Gimp once.

yeah ive never had it happen either. sounds like a machine specific problem or something
I prefer Krita. It’s easier to migrate from PS since they have similar GUI. Gimp is a pain to work with.
Also, it has autosave, I disable autosave, but you would like it.
Never had GIMP crash and I used it a lot! How much RAM are you running on?
16GB. I suspect the journal has an issue when it runs out of space. That’s no excuse to just crash, though.
With gimp? What are you doing? I can’t remember it ever crashing.
Sometimes using the color selection tool, sometimes creating an outline for text, sometimes literally saving.
I really only use it from time to time. I have used the color selection tool many times and I can’t recall it ever crashing on saving. I suppose if I used it daily that experience would change a bit.
It crashes for me often, but I think only ever when saving/exporting or copying (image data), and I use gimp-devel…

Needs to be started manually though.
Those programs are Inkscape and Blender when doing some fuckery, but GIMP? Only when I was using the beta GIMP 3 would that happen.
I never fucked any of these hard enough to crash on me.
I guess it would be easier to crash Blender by doing some ridiculous simulation but idk how to crash inkscape and gimp.
I’m confused. Is this saying that GIMP is incapable of saving projects? Or that GIMP crashes on you so often that you need to save often?
Both at once, even! It will occasionally crash when you go to save.
Thanks for confirming it. I was afraid I might be the only one.
Oh its for sure not you, this update is going to feature HEAVILY in my manifesto…
Gimp crashed multiple times on me in the last 3 hours. One of these was when I was trying to save in order to not lose all my work.
Gimp 2 didn’t do that as far as I can tell. Since version 3 didn’t bring any noticeable improvements (at least to me), I guess I’ll downgrade. Welp.
Please turn on coredumps, get a backtrace, and file a bug (and even better, fix the issue if you can.)
One does not rule the other out.
Are you the same person (Kream) being snarky and rude to the developers in the bug report?
Oof
On my most recent new install of gimp a few weeks back, it now has a reopen last documents feature, and I think it does now cache your last open files in the event of a crash.
I’ve been using GIMP since the mid 2000’s as a replacement for Photoshop4/5 and it has always been a great tool. I haven’t ever really had any major stability issues with it.
Me trying to do retopo in blender: Always save; In multiple files if possible.
Most likely you need to upgrade RAM
Unrelated but I’ve been using Inkscape fairly heavily lately and encounter a lot of crashes.
It’s never been something reproducible like a specific operation that causes it.
Thankfully it almost always dumps the svg to a file during the crash, unless it crashed right after saving, which is probably more common.
Huh. I have never had Gimp crash on me once in fifteen years. I only use it to make shitty memes and fake my tax returns though so I guess YMMV.
I have learned this about Maya after sitting near somebody who works in it daily.
