Freezing and then crashing...

[Douglas]

While using the airbrush, as I shift/left click to advance a line, Gimp freezes and then I have to manually crash the program, losing all my session's work. I tried waiting for it to come back, but I always have to start everything again. I use the paintbrush to avoid that. Gimp also freezes if I shake the mouse too rapidly while erasing. I can understand it's a constantly improving program, and I'm happy to be a user, so I do tolerate it to certain point. It is damn frustrating. I always have trepidation using Gimp for that reason, and I am constantly manually saving. Sometimes though, you just get focused on the task and forget to save for a while, and that's when it happens. I think the program is great, it's really helped me out working with .DDS files and creating Composites from the RGB channels, it's brilliant, but the freezing, ugh.... What can I do here besides avoid those features of the program? I have a I 7 with 16gig of RAM. The largest files were 8192 x 8192 and possibly 50 layers. But it's happend on smaller files too. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Which version of GIMP? where did you get it from? Which operating system?

Gimp Version 2.10.22. I downloaded it from the official Gimp.org, and I have Windows 10.0.19043 64bit. Just upgrading to the current stable version of Gimp which is 2.10.30. I've been using Gimp for about 2 years now. I love it.

Does V2.10.30 fail in the same way?

So far no. But I am currently on another project and the workspace is not as large. I suspect 8192x8192 with multiple layers was the issue? I will report back if I have any further problems. Thank you for your replies.
