kyncaith Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I use a lot of embedded documents, but then sometimes have to remove the layers from inside the embedded document and put them directly into the parent document when I no longer need them embedded. Copying and pasting these layers and then dragging them to move them into place causes a runaway memory situation. It can quickly take up all available memory and the program will eventually freeze. This makes using V2 a nightmare. Any help as to how to stop this would be appreciated. See attached file. test.afphoto Quote
carl123 Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I followed the instructions in your attached document but not seeing any issue here (Windows 11 - APhoto 2.0.3) My memory usage remains constant in Task Manager between 650MB and 690MB, no matter how many times I copy/paste or drag the "Building" layer around What version of Windows and APhoto are you using?

If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Windows Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045AP Version 2.0.3 Here are some screenshots of memory use before and after. 542.2 is before, 2979.9 is after one paste and move, 9384.5 is after 3 paste and moves.

Good call. Seems my CPU is taking a bigger hit, but at least the memory leak is gone. Quote
carl123 Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Good news I was able to recreate the runaway memory issue by switching on Hardware Acceleration on my PC, so hopefully the Devs will be able to recreate it and resolve it in a future update (Windows 11 - APhoto 2.0.3) Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
