Description janshin 2008-07-21 04:05:08 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. brushes
2. start up
3. whatever


Stack trace:
i downloaded 5000 plus of gimp brushes, now, the problem is when i start gimp, it crashes because of the brushes.. i think the brushes are fine, maybe its because they are so many... what should i do, i like all the brushes and i dont want to delete them, is there any other way to use them all? 

Other information:

Hi

When you say crash, do you mean hangs? If it "hangs" it is probably because it takes quite a while to load 5000 brushes.

If it actually crashes we need a stack trace or your brushes to try to reproduce the problem, but first things first...

------->>>>>>>> i dunno, but it really crashes, maybe its in the brushes...but now, what im doing is i dont put any brush in the gimp brush folder, i just put it if i use it and i classify the brushes according to their names and just put it in documents,,,,, well yeah, its quite harrowing, very harrowing, but i think im geting use to it,,,,,im okay now, but if u have any solutions, why not tell me.... anyways, thanks>> Martin Nordholts

In order to help we would need to know what is wrong.

There are two potential problems the way I see it:

1. GIMP crashes due to too many brushes
2. GIMP crashes due to a (or many) malicious brush(es).

If you systematically add your brushes you should be able to figure out which one of these two we are dealing with. Let us know please when you know, so that we can fix the problem. Thanks!

You can actually crash GIMP by installing lots of large brushes. It will simply run out of memory and die in g_malloc(). That's already handled in bug #330099 though.
