memory leak on linux

[rmtk]

It seems that there is a memory leak problem in recent versions of XnviewMP linux. When I view or edit photos in a folder containing hundreds of photos, all system memory (4gb in my computer) was eaten up in several minutes.

[xnview]

do you reproduce?

[rmtk]

Yes, always. Sometimes it took just several minutes to eat up all memory, sometimes up to a hour.

[xnview]

how many files do you have?

[rmtk]

500-1500 in a folder

[xnview]

500-1500 in a folder

Strange. big files?

[rmtk]

Just normal JPEGs taken by a DSLR, size 5~10MB.
It seems that it relates to thumbnail generating. I can see the memory usage of Xnview expands significantly after finish generating thumbnails of a new folder containing a lot of photos. After editing, new thumbnails generated and more memory used.

[xnview]

you start XnViewMP, browse this folder, and wait thumbnails generation?

[rmtk]

after some more test I think memory leak accurs mostly during photo editing, instead of thumbnail generating.

[rmtk]

catalog optimizing also uses 2gb+ memory and never release after finished

i don't see any memory leaks, you can have the sqlite engine that takes more and more memory...
