Memory leaks!

[NormanPCN]

My machine has 16GB ram. AP allowed to use 11GB. .37 beta.

 

Start Affinity photo

Open a 5 shot HDR merge, with tone map

click Apply once this is done

close the document.

repeat

 

On the third time Photo goes virtual and of course performance goes WAY down. The memory leak is about 3.5-4GB. Yes GB.

 

Interesting that AP wants ~4GB of ram to do this operation. Photomatix only wants about 70MB and is tons faster. Hey it takes time to touch that much ram repeatedly.

edit: PS goes about 1.8GB.

 

Develop also has big memory leaks.

 

Start AP

Open recent Canon 7D2 CR2 file.

Develop

Close document

repeat

 

I did not repeat until AP went virtual. I repeated about 8 times and watched memory get to about 1.8GB from a start around 200MB. It may be 20+ times. Much smaller memory consumption and thus the leak is smaller.

 

Finally just opening a TIF and closing still shows memory leaks. Again a smaller leak than the above because memory consumption is smaller in this operation.

 

I thought On1 Photo was a memory pig with memory leaks. 

 

Keeping track of memory. Programming 101 guys. Get a grip.

Agree, it's always nice to read the final pleasantries...

Get a grip. 

Interesting way to introduce yourself. I have no doubt everybody will rush head over heels to help you if you have any questions ;)

1.5.0.37 (Beta)

 

Notwithstanding the above comments, I can agree that the Develop persona does exhibit siginificant memory leaks. In my case, opening 3 x DNG raw files simultaneously, developing, closing, and repeating a few times demonstrated this very clearly. It was easy to get Photo to consume close to 4-5GB of RAM (after all files developed and closed).

 

The DNG files are straight from camera (Pentax), 16MB, 10 Megapixel.
