Script-Fu is still adding layers while I write this and the count is approaching 4000 layers of 16x16 pixels here. At the moment gimp uses about 330MB of virtual memory (256MB physical RAM). The script has (gimp-displays-flush) after (gimp-image-add-layer ...), so the layers dialog is fighting to keep up with the amount of layers and the scrollbar already shows that GTK+-1.2 has a problem with X coordinates being limited to 16bit. Let's see how far I can get, but I guess 8000 layers shouldn't be a problem with enough RAM and if you bring enough time. Salut, Sven
