Description Evan Dixon 2022-12-11 19:29:01 UTC
This has been happening to me every time I use the software. Whenever I try to save my drawing after working on it for a while, an error would occur and it would refuse to save my file. I would always have to reset my computer to get the save function to work again. Please reply back when you can.
Thank you.

Hi, this is unfortunately too little info to have an idea of what is happening on your system. It's not normal for sure, and not what Krita is supposed to do. So, it's a special case.

To investigate, can you open Krita, got to Help > Show Krita log for bug report, 
then select all the text in this windows, copy, and paste it here.  

This will make your report more detailed.

I'm marking this ticket as 'Need Info / Waiting for info" for now.

Hi, thanks.
I can read this line when the saving failed:

> Could not save animation meta data.. Warning: . Size: 5133488

Can you confirm you have enough free space available to save your project?

Ok, I switch the ticket to reported. 
(note: It might take time until someone with more technical skill check your log and give you more answers if meanwhile, you find any information about why a specific couldn't be saved, or a precise description of step to reproduce the bug all the time, feel free to plug this information in this thread.)

Comment 8 wolthera 2023-01-12 12:02:48 UTC
Hi,

What's going on here is that your image is too large to save with your current computer. The reason why resetting your computer works is because that clears up working memory, which allows for saves to be completed. Technically, you *could*, when working on this file, only have Krita open so your computer has the working memory necessary. Far more recommended however is to cut down the file size, either by merging layers, splitting up the scene, or resizing the image to a smaller resolution.

We don't impose hard limits because we haven't found a good way that doesn't hamper the animation workflow. What we do have is a little indicator at the bottom that goes from the highlight color, to yellow, to red as the file gets larger. When it's red, you will want to start simplifying the file somehow, because at that point these kind of memory related problems start to appear.
