I found that it addresses the immediate problem of never closing down Layer and Channel drawables that are contained in the GimpImage structure. For people processing many, many images in some sort of batch procedure, where images are destroyed and new images created, the growth rate of Gimp's memory print is greatly reduced. Sven has committed his patch to CVS on the gimp-1-2 branch; it will likely be a part of the 1.2.2 release unless someone discovers that it leads to unanticipated problems. Thank you for raising the issue. I think people who use the Gimp in some sort of image processing looping procedure will find the application better behaved now. Be good, be well Garry
