i have encountered a problem in 2.54 when trying to save my render in 2.54, the “save as” function in the image editor panel causes blender to crash before i get chance to add the file name (once it goes into the save settings panel the cursor starts to beach ball and then it crashes)
any ideas on what could be the problem?
and btw i am new to these forums (first post)
any help would be appreciated 
in the folder you are trying to save it to, are there any images? For me, everytime i try save the image, i have to quickly switch of the image display (near the top) so that it just shows file names, otherwise it tries to load the images ad crashes. Maybe you have the same problem?
Try to change the name of the path manually in output tab to a folder without images, then open this folder should work.
thanks for your help, i have fixed it now with a new folder and cleaning up all the images off my desktop, guess i will just have to remember this each time i start something new. thanks for your help
and if your interested this is what i was trying to get the render saved for
