Weird behavior, GC 8.5

[thorstenlemke]

Hi,the memory is only used during editing the image. Just close the image and the memory is freed.Thorsten   Thorsten, The file size is on;y 764 KB, not 100 MB. Since I changed TV provider there were many changes to make to the image, many more than 10. I find it easier to cut and paste instead of redrawing, How goes one fix the massive memory usage, other than quitting and restarting GraphicConverter?

Thorsten, Why does Activity Monitor show that GraphicConverter is using 186.5 MB of Ram and 470.4 MB of Virtual with no images open?

Hi Robert,I debugged the source. The complete temporary undo memory is freed by calling free upon closing an image file. So, the MacOS does keep the used frameworks and nibs in memory if the memory is not required.Thorsten On 11.12.2012, at 15:53, Robert Poland <rpoland@usa.net> wrote:   Thorsten, Why does Activity Monitor show that GraphicConverter is using 186.5 MB of Ram and 470.4 MB of Virtual with no images open?

Thorsten, Sounds good, Thanks. Since you didn't include a link I'll assume you're referring to version 8.5 (1833).
