I could reproduce the problem. Basically it is a bad UI / bad default settings. Most likely, you tried to resize to 800% in each dimension instead of 800x800 pixels. The usability of the UI is bad here: when resizing, everyone would expect the unit to be pixel, especially if the default values resemble common picture sizes. The default unit for resizing is "percentage", but the default values are 640x480 (displayed as width 640 and heigh 640 due to preservation of the aspect ration). So if you have a large image and scale it to 8 times in width and height, it is possible that the conversation takes a huge amount of memory. When using more common parameters like 150%, 200% or 50% resizing works. If you want to resize to a specific size (after changing the unit to pixels), that works fine for regular sizes, too. Please can you double-check, whether that explains your issue? Technically, there are two issues: - the default resize parameters should be more meaningful, e.g. 800x600 pixels or probably 50% (I'll fix this in the next update of the gthumb package in the next days) - gthumb should handle such situations more gracefully (I'll create an upstream bug report for that) Yes, You are right. It does explain my issue. I used percentage instead of pixels. I have checked it with pixels (800x600) and more common percentage (150 %) and it works for me.

Created attachment 795916 [details] Image I wanted to resize. Description of problem: When I want resize images with gthumb, it shows a progress bar, but freezes on the first image. In System monitor I see, that it uses 1.4 GiB of memory. Hard disk works as well (probably because of swap). I think it is a general problem, not related to my image I wanted to resize. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gthumb-3.2.3-3.fc19 (64-bit) How reproducible: Try to resize image in attachment Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open image in attachment with gthumb. 2. Click on 'Tools' button on the top. 3. Choose 'Resize images...' 4. Set: New dimensions: 800x800, Preserve original aspect ratios, Keep original format 5. Click on 'Resize' button or similar (I use Slovak interface) Actual results: Progress bar moves slower and slower, computer freezes, gthumb uses a lot of memory, image is not resized Expected results: image is resized in a few seconds Additional info:
