I see. It takes much memory when we draw brushmarks many times on the same area, I think that is very usual situation. Perhaps we should study the memory usage for this situation. > Don't forget that right now, the strokes are stored individually in > the undo history anyway. Yes and no. GIMP copies previous tiles prior to its modification, but that is part of previous layer image, not a stroke itself. GIMP can forget the undo cache, and do forget the undo cache (on program termination for example.) On the other hand, GeglBuffers for each strokes should be kept persistently. That is a big difference between undo cache and contents of GeglBuffer. But we can estimate the rough memory usage for the situation above from the memory usage of the undo cache. -- Souichi TAKASHIGE _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
