Hi Johannes,

I installed Build 18 this evening and played around with a few filter settings. I saved one Terrainsetting and exported 2 heightmaps, one .raw and one .pgm. I think GC2 crashed about 2 times, but that's not what my report is about.
I suddenly got a system message telling me that there's not enough space available on my harddrive C:

When checking the software list, I noticed the GC2 grew to 19GB(!).

Crosschecking with the GC2 folder reconfirmed that.

Inside the GC2 folder the "NewProject_1" folder alone showed 16GB.

Again, I was just messing around with some settings and wasn't even trying to build a real terrain, so I wouldn't know how to reproduce this. Never had this problem before. Maybe I made a mistake somewhere? I hope the attached images can help you find the source of this issue.

Yes, there is a bug. Some of the files are much to great. Looks like another bug fix is needed before the toad tool.
Please also report the tow situations, when GC crashed.

Hm, I have tried to reproduce that, without success. Is it possible, that you had gotten an errror message and tried to continue?

Same issue happens with my PC.
It seems to me that it happens when i've tried to play with River and lakes settings. I don't remember what i've triggered, but after a while Windows warned me about low disk space; so i've stopped GC2 thread process via Task Manager and i've noticed that "NewProject_<x>" into "GeoControl alpha Build 18" took up more Gbytes of space.

I did not find the bug in the code, I need a bit more information, but of course we will find and fix that.

I don't know what I did exactly, but as far as I remember I was only playing around with Terrain Size, River & Lakes, Flowmaps and Flowterrain. Of course I'll try to reproduce the bug and post as soon as managed to do so.

Flowterrain??
You mean "Convert to Flowterrain"?
Then it is my fault, not to remove that menu item. This function does no longer work, I have only forgotten to remove it.

Bingo Johannes!
I've tried to launch "Converto to Flowterrain". My HD space is run out.
