Could not seek in XCF file

That is a big image you are working on, but you do have plenty memory.

Maybe some more information required. Is that the regular Partha 2.8.14 or is it the portable version?

The message "Could not seek in XCF file" maybe scrambled in translation, could you post a screenshot or the original text.

Is this an existing .xcf image on disk that you are trying to over-write?
If it is, is it on a external or net-work drive?

Clutching at straws here when it comes to very large images.



I am using Partha's regular 2.8.14.

Here is the original text: (FR)

L'enregistrement de « xxxxxxx\2016-09-20\DSC04617.xcf » a échoué :

Impossible de pointer dans le fichier XCF : Invalid argument

according to http://osdir.com/ml/commits.gnome/2016-09/msg08027.html , it is the supplied translation to Could not seek in XCF file

The error appears on first try to File/Save. The file is saved on an internal 3 TB drive.

There is plenty of space on an internal 3 TB disk. On disk, my GIMP experience tells me that an XCF should be around 25 % of the amount indicated in Status Bar. For this file, I expect the xcf to be around (7 G x 25 %) : 1.75 G
