another detail: when it crashes because I chose to create a new file (open menu
"file">choose "new") - it crashes not when I select a file from presets or
choose size and hit ok - but after i choose "new". so it goes like this: I
choose "file" in menu>I click on "new">a "create new image" dialogue pops
up>some time passes (about half a minute)>it crashes with a message.
