Takes Forever to EXPORT an image - OldSargeDaleD - 11-09-2023
Dell XPS 8940
11th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-11900
32.0 GB
Windows 11 Pro
I open a graphic image (anything from a JPG to a PNG to a TIFF)
I work on the file -- many times, simply cropping something out of the larger image
I Click File, I click Export
I just did this, creating a headshot for an Avatar on my genealogy software.
It took me 7 (count 'em SEVEN) attempts to get the file name into the input box and get it exported.
Gimp stalled out, it took me out of the Export dialog box and back to the main screen with my cropped image
I'd try again, and again, etc -- the program would go into "Not Responding" then it would time out (again) and I'd have to start over
Any suggestion??
Thanks
Dale

You probably have an unresponsive "drive" somewhere (like a network share that disappeared). In a very distant past that could have been a fake A: diskette drive reported by the BIOS but AFAIk this is no longer true on recent computers.

What do you mean by recent Ofnuts? I get the same thing but live with it because it always responds eventually.

Didn't hear about this ghost diskette drive being a problem for at least 5 years (more recent occurrences seem to be network or USB issues). You can always pay a visit to your BIOS and see if it has an option for a diskette drive, and toggle it.
In you case I would check the Devices list and see if there are drives you never heard about...

When working with a file folder with about 10,000 files I have to wait about 20 seconds for an export to start and get an unresponsive message. I got tired of waiting and made a temp sub folder to work out of and it is now almost instantaneous.

10000 files in any folder is quite a lot, especially on Windows...
