This bug was caused by circular references in lib/metadata.py and core/pil.py Thanks Nadia for your hard work on this!
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stani/phatch/trunk/revision/1674 It should be fixed now, but feel free to do more extensive testing. ** Changed in: phatch Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- Phatch eats-up nearly all the RAM and swap available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Phatch Developers, which is subscribed to Phatch. Status in Phatch = Photo & Batch!: Fix Committed Bug description: Ubuntu 9.10 Phatch 0.2.5 from PPA 1go RAM 2go swap I am trying to rename about 200 photos taken with a 10MP camera, the photos are between 4 and 5Mo each. I am renaming them using the exif data (<Exif_Photo_DateTimeOriginal.year>-<##Exif_Photo_DateTimeOriginal.month>-<##Exif_Photo_DateTimeOriginal.day>). This action takes less than 1min with phatch 0.1.6 but it takes more than an hour with phatch 0.2.5. Phatch uses 80% of the RAM and swap available. See picture attached of the freed memory when Phatch is stopped. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~phatch-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~phatch-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
