    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.

      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…

    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’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?

      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.

    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.
