Task Manager UI causes memory & file leaks
Last modified: 2006-06-18 05:25:19 UTC
The Task Manager user interface increments the refcounts of the tasks which it renders, but never unrefs them when the dialog is closed. A separate but related bug is that when rows are moved, they pick up an additional unbalanced refcount. In both cases, the refcounts should be balanced. This bug appears to have been introduced when we moved to GtkCTreeView for the task manager, and smoked out by accident late last week when I moved the acache_checkin in task-save from decode.c to task_save_destructor(). Since the latter was never called, my cache file was filling up with hundreds of files... :)
