Memory leak

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a memory problem. For every loaded photo it takes approximately 30 MB of 
RAM, without releasing anything, until I run out of memory. After closing the 
program or quitting the process memory gets released.

I have also tried and 2.1 and 2.0 versions and the problem persists.

I have the latest version of Lion (10.7.3) and an early 2011 MacBook Pro, 13".

This has never been reported before, nor have I noticed any problems with any 
specific version, so it is most likely a problem with something installed on 
your end. Do you have any haxies or similar installed?

That was fast. Not really.  If it's something on my end, is there any way to 
check what causes this?

Not easily. If you can find a second machine and find out whether the same 
thing happens there or not, that might help. There's also the "leaks" command 
that will give you some information about what is leaking memory, but it might 
not be enough.

I have the same issue - again latest version of Lion and an early 2011 MacBook 
Pro 13". Any new suggestions?

Same for me; scrolling through photos rapidly eats into RAM (MBP 13.3, early 
2011).  It doesn't take long before I need to quit Xee and reopen.

Should also say that I'm running Lion 10.7.4 and Xee 2.2.

I have the same issue... Any suggestions?

I've tested this issue on two separate computers with the same outcome. On one 
machine (late 2011 mbp 13") after the system is out of ram (it has 8gb 
installed), Xee crashes. If needed, I can attach crash log.

Well, this is unlikely to get fixed in the current codebase anyway. I don't 
think any more development will happen on it. I am playing around with a fresh 
new rewrite for v3.0, to catch up with everything that's changed in OS X in the 
meanwhile. It will probably not have the same bug any more.

If anyone wants to fix this in the current codebase, though, I am happy to 
accept patches.

Thanks for the response! It's great to know that work's being done on the new 
version.
It's fast, light-weight and just what I need to simply browse through large 
quantities of images.
Is there a date (approximation maybe?) for the release or betas of 3.0?

Not really, since I am working on it in my spare time and still just 
experimenting with what works fast and what doesn't on new versions of OS X.

Same here, Mac Pro 13" late 2011... 
It really nice app but this memory leak is annoying

I've downloaded Xee 2.2 (in a Lion 10.7.4) and I had the same problem reported 
here. The system run out of memory and restarted with a system error.

I have noticed that the memory consumption increase with every picture I see.

Macbook pro 13, 8gb, same problem. It annoys a lot. Anyone has an idea of how 
to fix it? I'm a programmer, maybe I could create a patch with some help.

Try to figure out if it happens for all images, or just for certain kinds. Then 
you can track down which image loader class is causing it.

Also, "leaks Xee" in the terminal might help, maybe. Unless it's something more 
complicated.

Yup, same here. Xee 2.2, Mac Pro 13''
My Xee crashes regularly when browsing through new photos downloaded from a 
camera. Looks like something is trying to capture the image in something more 
than just the immediate memory as the problem occurs less frequently once 
images have been opened once. Crashes typically occur when browsing from one 
image to the next. The Mac rainbow icon appears, hangs for a while and bang, 
that's it. 
Other than this, I like the app which is quite similar to Irfanview, in some 
respects better but not yet fully so.

I assume it caused by 8g memory. 

Original comment by qteveryw...@gmail.com on 9 Oct 2012 at 2:59

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No, it's not caused by memory. I sold my mbp that had 4 gigs of memory where I 
had the problem and bought the latest 13" air with 8 gigs of memory and 
everythig works perfectly. Thanks God I don't have that problem anymore...

Same problem. Opening 18MPixel images results in ~70MB RAM for each image 
browsed. Memory used for viewing an image is only released after the window is 
closed.
Program consumes all memory available after a few images.

MBP 13", Mountain Lion, Xee 2.2

I am having the same issue using Xee 2.2 with Macbook Pro Late 2011 8GB RAM and 
running Mountain Lion v 10.8.2. I was viewing a set of around 200 pics 
yesterday and my available memory went down from around 5.5 GB to 20 MB at 
which point the OS became very laggy and I realised the issue. I was able to 
replicate it again and again
