Is the image a high-precision one?
Typical image file is from a film scanner, medium format color negative, 4,800 PPI, 97,955,104 pixels.
Gimp Preferences/Folders/Other says the swap file is in folder C:\Users\RJD\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\gimp\, which doesn't exist.
I understand neither why Gimp points to that folder, nor what is in ...\Temporary Internet Files\.
Tile cache size is 8,330,310 Kibibytes.
My plan: Keep Dashboard visible. Save XCF often. Maybe enlarge tile cache to 12 GB.
Here is a typical Dashboard:
Cache
Occupied 6.8 GiB
Limit 7.9 GiB
Swap
Occupied 163.8 MiB This seems odd, since available memory is 4.8 GB.
Size 164.0 MiB
Limit 216.0 GiB
Memory
Cache 6.8 GiB
Tile 7.3 GiB
Used 8.0 GiB
Available 4.8 GiB
Size 15.9 GiB
