Freezes during scaling - Flwriter85 - 11-10-2020
I am aware that this has been mentioned in various ways earlier throughout the forum; however, they are just old enough and I'm not completely sure if they are the same issue that I am having.
As the subject says my version of gimp seems to ALWAYS freeze while I try to scale my drawing(s). I thought I found a work around and scale it slowly, but it doesn't help. At least not for a long substantial time.
My computer is brand new (relatively speaking. I bought it back around Feb/March). It's a gaming computer.
According to my info. (Not completely sure what is important).
16 gb of ram (15.8 useableseale)
64 bit os
Windows C drive has 743 GB free of 929 GB
My CPU usage at this point as I type this:
I have five apps open (browser with three tabs; GIMP; task manager, system info box; file tab).
CPU is at 3% usage (changing of course)
37% memory.
All in I should have more than enough power to run/keep running the program.
Using 2.10.22 (the previous version before updating was doing the same thing. I thought perhaps updating would help).
I cleaned out my hardrive / junk/ etc.
I am at a lost of what else to do.
Thank you advance for any assistance, and as per assistance please keep it noob-level. I know enough about computers to break them... not fix them after they're broken.

- When you scale, do you see any CPU going steady at 100% (ProcessMonitor, Performance tab)?
- How big is the image in pixels?
- How many layers?
- How much memory does it need (status bar at the bottom of the image window)?
- How much tile cache size is defined in Preferences>System resources (should be at least 8GB given your RAM)?
- Is OpenCL enabled (Preferences>System Resources>Hardware Acceleration)?
- Did you test your hardware?

I'll add one more question:
- Are you scaling up or down? i.e. are you trying to make your drawing bigger (more pixels) or smaller (less pixels)?
