Public bug reported: I apology for my bad english.
The problem arise when i want to resize many big images, i select these images and use the action Tools->Resize (not sure about names, i'm using the french version of ubuntu). Gthumb never free memory it use for this operation, as each operation cost memory, with 200 images (>2000 pixels length) it eat more than 1 Go of memory. When no memory is avaible on RAM and swap, gthumb crash and linux free the memory. Hope it help, it's very annoying. I have to resize 20 images, close gthumb reopen it and resize another 20 images and so on ... package version gthumb 2.7.6-0ubuntu1, the rest is dapper up-to-date ** Affects: gthumb (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- memory leak in gthumb 2.7.6 (dapper) https://launchpad.net/bugs/62175 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
