I am currently using GIMP 2.8 for GNU/Linux, Gimp Perl 2.0 with Pango 1.10. I'm using a cgi to dynamically generate images through the Perl Server and in general it works very well.
Currently we do need to restart the GIMP instance and perl server on the machine because in the process of creating images the GIMP keeps holding on to more and more memory. As an example, I can run the following script: use strict; use lib qw(/www/lib/perl); use Gimp qw(:auto); Gimp::init; my $img = gimp_image_new(300, 200, 0); $img->gimp_image_undo_disable; my $layer = gimp_layer_new($img, 300,200,RGB, "Layer 1", 100, NORMAL_MODE); gimp_image_add_layer($img, $layer, -1); my $text_layer = gimp_text_fontname($img,-1,0,0,"111111111111", 0, 0, 14, 0, "Arial Bold"); gimp_image_merge_down($img, $text_layer, CLIP_TO_BOTTOM_LAYER); $img->gimp_image_undo_enable; gimp_image_delete($img); Gimp::end; If I add a new text layer in the script above and rerun it, I see that the GIMP instance grabs on to more memory and holds on to it permanently. Deleting the image and disabling undo do not result in the GIMP releasing memory for the new layer it created. I would prefer not having to restart GIMP and its perl server so I'm looking to see if there is anything else I can do to force it to free up memory.
