Thank you for your reply. I don’t do that much posing on this forum, so get rusty as to how to use its features.
I agree that something seems fishy. I’ve almost never had darktable crash on me. I was using it both as a stand-alone ap and as a front end to open RAW images to pass to Gimp 2.10.
I have really not had much of a problem with any application crashing in Gimp.
Resorted to Lightzone this morning to finish processing files that I wanted to get out.
