Unable to cancel thumbnail generation
Submitted by spa..@..il.net
Link to original bug (#629385)
Description
- Go to the Open Image dialog.
- Browse to a very large image (>50MB).
- Click on the generic thumbnail icon to generate the image's thumbnail.
Effect: GIMP will eventually freeze due to insufficient memory and the lack of ability to cancel thumbnail generation.
Desired effect: Pressing Cancel should close the dialog or at least stop the thumbnail from continuing to generate.
I lost about fifteen minutes of work by accidentally clicking on the thumbnail icon. Could have been much worse, but it still could have not happened at all.
