I am having an issue where I imported a picture(jpeg) into Stardraw and then proceeded to edit, by creating text boxes and importing other pics into the workspace.
When I went to save the file I get the error popup-
A generic error occurred in GDI+

I have considerable time into this and don't want to lose it.
I have printed to PDF just in case we cant save it but in the meantime any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You,
IN

The error usually means that GDI+ - which is a graphics sub-system in Windows - has run out of memory.  This can happen when using a lot of, or very large, images.

You can try deleting the images in your drawing one by one until you get to a point where you can save without encountering the GDI+ message.  Start with the largest images first, and by this I mean the largest in terms of original filesize, not size on screen.
