I I went up to 420 by hand (64 * 64 pix, and not big RAM usage, BTW), no crash and dialog updated (can I say Windows problem?). And now that some people seems to have a layer festish, maybe a script that adds 256 (or choose a number) per run could be done, so some people become happy. But also... how many layers are really useful? IOW, "my foo can do n^2 bars" vs "user just uses n". Of course, the fun factor is there, "this script goes up to n^n in one click". :P GSR
