Zbrush R2 (and R2B) Crashes when importing texture via texture window

[system]

I know I’m not the only one who has had this problem, but after upgrading to r2B today and seriously hoping it would be fixed I found myself disappointed. Is there a work around I’m missing? It happens without fail.

Easy enough to reproduce, unless it has a special grudge against me:

Draw a tool
Go into edit mode
Import a texture and apply it to the tool
Then import another texture (I’ve been using .jpeg and .psd)
Boom, it crashes for me, at least on my 64bit Windows 7.

This is incredibly frustrating, it makes tweaking textures in PS and bringing them back in for polypaint horribly tedious and I’ve started going back to Zbrush 3.5 in order to do any texture work.

I’d still like a response to this, it’s an irritating obstacle I have to deal with every day, and I seriously doubt I’m the only one.

I read the new policy and so I’m including a screenshot. I’m on Windows 7 64bit, I have 12gb of RAM and 2.8ghz processor.

This usually only happens if you Import the textures through the Texture palette (left side like you show in your pic). Import all your textures through the Texture ‘menu’ (at the top) and you should be alright.
