I just replicated this bug on karmic with the following process: 1. Import a couple hundred photos into F-spot. 2. Go through each photo, using different operations from the edit menu on photos in the album. 3. Observe the memory usage for different operations
The result was a gradual and consistent increase in memory usage as more photos were edited. I have not been able to make precise enough measurements to determine which editing operations affect the memory usage and are causing the leak, but i suspect there are problems with multiple operations. The "Straighten" operation seems to be a definite culprit, and a good candidate for further testing (along with the other edit operations). Only 10 or so images/edits should be required to generate a noticeable memory usage increase. I also haven't yet tested whether performing multiple edits on a single image has the same effect. I will report this upstream as soon as i have posted this new information here. Sorry for the slow response, i have finally come to the end of my final year of university, so have a little more time available for this sort of detail. I will post again once i have submitted the upstream report. -- Memory leakage when editing photos https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
