Rotate freezes before completing
#21
When the crash happens to me on my older internet computer, I use remote desktop to my more powerful computer and rotate always works. The crash always happens when I try rotate on a layer that has a layer mask. Of course if I apply the mask that will solve the problem too. 

I wish GIMP would make allowances for older computer that have 8 gigs of RAM and in that case use less RAM and slow down the rotate, so at least it won't crash.

 I assume the problem is running our of RAM. This happens fairly often when I export a PNG. I always use 2 not 9 in the export box to help prevent crashes. If I use 1 instead of 2 will that only make a larger file and not reduce the quality?

I failed to mention, when I say crash, what I really mean is my computer goes black and I have to reboot. Under Control panel/System/startup and recovery, I have auto restart unchecked under System Failure. So I assume this is a RAM issue

I reported it to the Gimp developers
