Thanks for prompt reply - I'll (attempt to) look into mentioned updates. BTW: What is XCF?? :)
I might add the information that prior to my first 'save as'-attempt(s), the computer began acting rather 'sluggishly': Even simple(?) tasks took VERY long time to accomplish - it felt like running short on RAM?? I'm in no way any kind of expert on graphics handling, but during GIMP installation I got the impression that some kind of 'virtual memory' ('swap') was being allocated (64 MB?) I don't know the specific memory requirements for the transactions I performed, but intuitively they would seem << 64 MB!? Does this shed any more light over the matter? :) Happy Easter, Hans Sunday, 27 March 2005 05:45 Jeffrey Brent McBeth wrote: ... > There is a a couple known bugs in SuSE dealing with JPEGs.
