hard crash on export
jimh12345 replied to jimh12345's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks. Yes, I have an Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 and I've just installed the latest "best for Creatives" version of the driver. -
hard crash on export
jimh12345 replied to jimh12345's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I have 2.6.2. I'll try the 2.6.3 beta, thanks. This crash is not reproducible. Typically, after it happens and I've recovered my system, I go back to the same project, try the export again and it works. I will look, but I doubt there's a crash report because when this happens, the entire system is locked. In fact I hear the fans start to whine, indicating it's trapped in some loop at a low level. UPDATE: I checked, and there is no crash report for the most recent incident. -
jimh12345 started following Gradient fill tool is unusable , hard crash on export and why can't I manage the Crop Tool presets?

Sometimes, when I click the Export button on the Export dialog, I lose my whole system. Total lockup - no mouse or keyboard response, no ctrl-alt-del, no nothin'. It's gone, and I have to hold in the power button and cold-boot to recover. Of course I lose any work I was doing. Does anyone have any suggestions - other than than the usual "disable hardware acceleration" even though I just bought a new PC exactly for that purpose... 😞

why can't I manage the Crop Tool presets?

AP has many excellent and powerful features. This "crop preset" implementation is not one of them. I'll just enter the crop ratio by hand every time. -

So, I can't make a new Preset at 7x5 that's Custom Ratio, instead of resample. Brilliant. Guys, thanks for the attempts at help. I'm walking away now. -

That's greyed out too. [Sigh.] -

Ok, I set the Crop to 7 x 5, Custom Ratio. But then what? I don't see a way to add this as a Preset. -

I just spent 10 minutes searching for any way to create a preset. I can create a Category, which is helpfully placed at the very bottom of the list in the Manager, and does not even show up if I click the gear icon from the toolbar. And no way to create a Preset in my new Category. What the heck? -
I want to change the presets for the Crop Tool: add some new ones, and delete unused categories (so I don't pick from them by mistake, and resample my photo). I select the Crop tool, click the gear icon on the toolbar, click the hamburger, and click Manage Presets. I get the Preset Manager, but all the options I want to use are disabled. Rename Preset, Delete Preset are grayed out. I click the hamburger on a category, and all the menu options are disabled except for "Import Presets" and "Restore Master Presets To Category" (whatever that means). It seems I can't do anything with the Preset Manager. Am I supposed to bring it up in some other context? Or have I done something to Presets that's broken or disabled management?

Gradient fill tool is unusable
jimh12345 replied to markstraw's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I've made several attempts to understand the gradient tool. All have failed. I just wasted another 10 minutes trying to create a color gradient in this hellish UI. Setting the colors is either impossible, or too complicated for my simple human brain. -
2.5 and 2.6 side by side
jimh12345 replied to jimh12345's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Plain brush, no texture, no wet edges, Normal mode. I probably won't need to revisit my 2.6 work anytime soon, so I'm just sticking with 2.5 for now. -

jimh12345 replied to jimh12345's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I uninstalled 2.6, installed 2.5 and the problem is gone. But, yes, all the work I did in 2.6 is now unavailable to me. And it seems I can't have both versions installed. My fault for violating the Prime Directive: never install an update unless it has something in it you really need. -

Wait - 2.6 is a "beta"? Why did I get a notice of an upgrade? I didn't really want to be a beta site.
