Just before, I opened the main raw file I mentioned above - the one I use to integrate my drawn images into - and could already see in the little preview icon that some objects were mi ssing. When it was loaded, it was clear that only 2 of 5 layers were still there; a text layer, a filled background part, my signature image and a vector graphic had been removed.
..snip..
Anyway, am I really the only person in the world experiencing this issue? It didn't occure here before last weekend; but since then, it does every day. .
In the mean time I have been trying all sorts of ways to lose layers between saving an image and reopening at a later date. Without any sucess.
I know...never the user... always the program.
My guess is it is something in your workflow or maybe your Windows Gimp installation. If you get a chance with one of your projects about to save, go into Windows -> Dockable Dialogues -> Dashboard (bottom of menu) Take a screen shot and post it here.
Maybe someone will spot lack of resources or some problem.
Edit: Something like this: If you are maxing out memory or starting to use the swap space then your installation is short of resources.
Edit again: Much as I dislike Reddit, a Google search does come up with similar issue: This one maybe

Otherwise, you could use some other program, Maybe Krita or Paint.Net
