I do believe I'll be sticking with PSP.
On, Windows, your profile is in AppData/Roaming because this is where Windows want is to be. In corporate setups where you can log on self-serve PCs, this directory is copied from the server to the machine where you log. In fact Windows would prefer that Gimp keeps everything in the registry...

OfNuts,
I spent some hours figuring out what was causing my Gimp issue. Uninstalled and reinstall different versions from 2.10.00. Going in a and attempting the same procedure that it originally was locking up in. It was doing the same thing no matter what version I was using, So I tweaked out my graphics card (AMD Radeon) and I tweaked out my box some but to no avail. Last possibility was that it had to something in Gimps Preferences/Settings. So, after all that time. I had to familiarize myself with Gimp Preferences.
What I did was start right at the first entry of "System Resources" and I planned to to work my through all the Preferences.
How I trouble shoot is... one change at a time, reload and test what was locking up. I'd never heard of Kibibytes, Mebibytes, Gibibytes. I found a Conversion on DuckDuckGo.com
I couldn't believe what the default reserves where. On the "Maximum undo memory" was like 1980005 Kibibytes, which is over 2 Gigs, and the default "Tile cache size" was set to like double that. I changed it down to 293000 Kibibytes (200 Megabytes) and 586000 Mebibytes (400 Megabytes) and... "voila!" no more locking up!
I didn't have to go past "System Resources". So it looks like I won't be going back to PSP, LOL.
BUT! What I don't like about Gimp is... I don't know how to use it effectively, LOL But I'm really excited to learn now!

Quick question... do you know anyone that knows how to "Stroke text that's been applied to "Text Along Path". I can do it as straight text... but then it appears the text turns into just a Layer and then the option of "Text Along Path" is not available. Any direction, suggestions... would be greatly appreciated.
