Thanks for all of you who clarified this. My setting are Minimal number of undo levels - 20 Maximum Undo Memory - 64M
I guess the two are in conflict for large images. I like a fairly liberal number of undo's, yet I did not realize the size can balloon in a such a way and hit 1.2G after a few applications of a scheme script (which makes liberal use of new layers), which brings gimp and the system to a long minutes of swapparoa fun.
So, is there a way to limit the size per image? Or a better way to set up a machine with 750MB of memory and a large swap?
Thanks, Joseph

Hi,
I open a 3038x2012 photo (gimp 2.2-pre1). The caption below the image says 46.9 MB I add a layer with Layer/New Layer. The caption says 70.3 MB I delete the layer. Caption stays 70.3 MB I Layer/New Layer again. The caption says: 93.7 MB I delete the layer. Caption stays 93.7 MB
Should I believe the numbers or not? I understand the gimp might be allocating memory and keeping it, but it does not mean the size of the image keep growing indefinitely? What am I missing?
The information is still ther, as the layer deletion can be undone.
Open the "undo history" dialog, and hit the "clear undo history" button - that is what you were missing. :-)
Thanks, Joseph
