Hi!
First of all, you should subscribe to the list if you want to see the
answers (I explicitly "Answer all" now, but usually we'd only answer to
the list) and also because otherwise an admin of the list must manually
accept each of your emails (as I just did, which is why it came 2 days
late). Thanks. :-)

This happens almost every day to me. Its been this way since the

I tried to type '200' into the dialog box just now, for instance- to
try to get a 200% scale on one axi,. and due to desired logic of
keeping the existing values there. .actually I somehow got 102000 on
one axis. SO it tries to allocate too much video memory (or
something) and I lose all my unsaved work.
I assume you mean while using the scale tool? (not Layers > Scale Layer
menu item), which is why you get on-the-fly scaling happening (if I
understand)?
Anyway when I tried right now, even setting a huge value, the preview
was nearly instant. If I try to apply it, I even get a warning telling
me "Applying the transformation will result in an item that is over 409
times larger than the image." So it looks to work quite OK.
Was the preview fast? When was it hanging exactly? Directly when
over-scaling by mistake, while showing the preview? Or when actually
applying the scale? And didn't you get a message telling you you were
apparently over-scaling similar to the one I just copy-paster?
I tested both the stable and dev versions.
Which version of GIMP were you working on by the way?
Maybe we could get thos dimensions to scale no larger than some X % at
a time? Or warn the user before creating a giant texture? Like the
current behavior for
perspective transformation. I think.
Well in my tests, it does look like it works OK already and we even
already get a warning when inputting huge values. So it looks like it
works already like you would like it to work.
Maybe there is a bug somewhere?

In general great work though. Thanks!
