Boy, that would be quite a tangent, lets just say that I run a dual boot rig, and have 64 bit Gimp on my Windows partition. So, anytime I expect to work with an image larger than 4 GB, I boot windows.
32 bit Gimp seems perfectly adequate 99.9% of the time, for the types of things I usually do with Gimp.
I really don't think I was anywhere near 4 gig active ram on my most recent experience. It's not really that big a deal, I'm not looking for conflict. Just thought it was worth mention.
I just plan my work such that I don't have a lot of unsaved work whenever I intend to plot paths on large images, and everything is fine. It's a very small subset, of a subset, of my overall experience with Gimp, so I'm not losing any sleep over it.
Not near as much sleep as some appear to be losing trying to get legacy applications working with
latest releases of Linux, anyway. (<----- only a small amount of sarcasm)
