Memory use ramps up after saving > crash Topic is solved

Honestly I didn't even see that setting - but now changed and I will let you know in due course.

Thanks a lot.

7.3 will include an HTML comments plugin that does not require any processing during export and which produces comments smaller in file size, so I hope we can keep you limping along until then...

That's great, thanks a lot. It's only my impression but the lists seem to switch more 'instantly' now, perhaps that's a spinoff from this setting change?

Dan - update: No crashes so far so that tweak removing the RTF/Word setting seems to have worked.

Thanks,

Good news, though I'm left wondering what the problem was...

[JonR]

I jinxed myself! After opening a couple more lists it crashed after save again after a couple of hours' work.

I wasn't using the logger this time but I attach some random process info (I don't know what it means but assume you can spot any unusual activity...) - You can see I saved only a few mins before the crash with no problem and similar memory etc. I'm not doing anything very clever or taxing atm, it's just entering text, moving items around, setting priorities/dates etc.

One point might be that while lists are saved ok, the 'status' of the TDL system is lost - i.e. items I have just opened are not reopened on restart (bc the status is only saved on successful exit?) - Is that all controlled via .ini file?

Another is my primary list is now 5.5MB, I keep meaning to housekeep but never have the time. But maybe now I should slim it down?

Thanks!

Jon

Yes, all state is stored in the ini file and I don't save it very often for performance reasons.

Can you list which of the task views you use? eg. Task Tree, Gantt Chart, etc

[JonR]

Dan

The views sadly mostly tree from day to day. A bit of list for housekeeping etc. But I am just trying to align my thinking with gantt and kanban and weekly planner and calendar...

[abstr]

I ask because some of the other views are less mature.

BTW, have you got auto-save turned on to avoid loss of work while we investigate this?

ps. Can you make sure you always have logging enabled (add -g to the commandline) just in case it offers something useful?
