Description
Created attachment 302351 Screenshot of first error message
To Reproduce: I dragged and dropped 24 jpg images (about 58MB) total into the GIMP.
Actual Result: After loading most of the images (I don't know how many), The GIMP shows the message in the attachment.
After the message in the attachment, the following appears:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
then Windows kills The GIMP.
The second time I tried this, GIMP just crashed.
Expected Result: The images load properly so that I can work with them.
I suspect I am trying to load too much into The GIMP. I'd prefer that The GIMP tell me nicely to not load so much at once instead of crashing.
Win 7/32, 4GB RAM, GIMP 2.8.14
