Hi, thanks for your report contribution.
I reported the first issue to the upstream. https://github.com/arunsivaramanneo/GPU-Viewer/issues/108 the second will be fixed in the next release. And for the third, gpu-viewer uses /tmp/gpu-viewer for its data, If the programme doesn't close correctly, the tmp dir won't be removed, so it is not a bug. Whenever you get the next GPU-Viewer update, I'll be grateful for the feedback (Except for items 1 and 3) -- Seyed Mohamad Amin Modaresi Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
