Bug Description

(v 0.46, running on Windows XP)

It appears that after I've loaded some quite big rasters into Inkscape (approx. 15 to 25 MB), Inkscape won't let me import any more raster images. If I try to import more (FILE / IMPORT), it seems that nothing happens.
Furthermore some funny things happen on these big jpeg files, eg if I try to duplicate one image, the duplicate will not display (instead inkscape displays the red X icon).

Should I report this as bugs?

I think you should create a bug report from this q (you can do it from this page, top left blue square Actions)

The biggest image I could find to test is about 12MB and I can confirm your experience. I needed to duplicate it about 5 times to get the red X and no import. Ive used todays dev build to test it (23rd Apr).

This report is rather old, could you please re-test with a more recent build ?
Thanks in advance.

I can confirm it on winXP build 21345. I am now a different computer than when this bug was reported, I could now duplicate a 14MB image 28 times, after that it seems that nothing happens, but actually when I select all objects it counts 38 and I can see all 38 bounding boxes, but the image is seen in only in the first 28 of them.

The same when in outline mode, there are 28 red "x"s and the rest of the bounding boxes are empty.

On ubuntu I was able to duplicate the same image 63 times before my memory maxed out and there was nothing wrong with the images so this might be a win32 only bug.
