Description T_pugliese 2006-11-03 16:59:08 UTC 
Distribution: Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy)
Gnome Release: 2.16.1 2006-10-02 (Ubuntu)

I am running into what appears to be a memory leak in gThumb or one of it's dependent libraries. I have about 100 large (2500x2000) pictures on my digital camera that I want to share on the web. I selected all of them in gThumb then ran Tools->Scale Images to scale them down to a reasonable size for web viewing. Before I knew it, all of the memory in my system was used up and the machine came to a grinding halt.

I tried a couple more times using a smaller number of pictures. Looking in system monitor I can scale about 10-12 images before all of the memory in my system plus swap is used up. The really annoying part and what qualifies this as a memory leak to me is that I have to close qThumb before the memory is freed. It would be one thing if I could only scale 10 at a time but right now, I can only scale 10-12 per session in gThumb.

Anyone seen this? A quick google search doesn't turn up anything.
