Hi,
When editing with Cinelerra (current git) I experience frequently that my entire system hangs after scratching through either the timeline or the viewer. As experienced before I have noticed that Cinerella eats a lot of memory.
The total amount of assets I have currently in my project is about 70GB, my system memory is 16GB, and yesterday I have added 8GB of swap (normally no swap).
It seems that with every video that I preview my memory usage significantly increases, but is never released. I think we have discussed this behavior on the mailinglist before being that the indices never get released. But still the amount does not make sense to me.
As user my expectation would be that when I would close the *viewer*, the memory would get released, especially when the content is not placed on the timeline.
Are there any statistics available on the memory usage what goes where?
can you use 'top' to see if memory eaten by cin process or X server?
Practical question: is it possible to have a different path for the emergency backups than /tmp?
hm, from code ... char string[BCTEXTLEN]; // Delete extra backups fs.set_filter("backup*.prev_*"); fs.complete_path(preferences->index_directory); fs.update(preferences->index_directory); so check preferences-> index directory path in GUI?
