b1: F9 GDI Leak
When changing views using F9, the GDI object count permanently increases. I don't really know what that means, but I believe it can cause minor annoyances. Several days ago, I saw information text disappear while scrolling picture- the object count was 350 at the time.
Confirmed (only in beta)! Memory leak while changing browser view mode. Marsh you are doing very valuable job for XnView by detecting memory leaks. Keep up the good job.
Basically it's just graphics interface objects what are not released when they are no longer needed.
These leaks can cause lot of problems, especially in Windows 98 what haves limited resource memory.

I strongly agree, very helpful and important. Thank you, marsh!ckv wrote:... Marsh you are doing very valuable job for XnView by detecting memory leaks. Keep up the good job.
Just yesterday I have received a mail which reports several people experiencing problems on Windows 98 SE. Perhaps this is the reason for the problem.

Do you know more?Just yesterday I have received a mail which reports several people experiencing problems on Windows 98 SE. Perhaps this is the reason for the problem.

Sometimes XnView 1.80 is completely blocked and has to be killed when browsing on Windows 98 SE. According to Mr. Roentz who has reported the problem this did not happen in XnView 1.74 or before. I'll send you a mail with some more details. I've asked Mr. Roentz to check with Beta2 (once the new Beta is available).xnview wrote:Do you know more?helmut wrote:Just yesterday I have received a mail which reports several people experiencing problems on Windows 98 SE.

Confirmed. Still leaking GDI objects.ckit wrote:The GDI Handles counter goes up slower with XnView 1.82 beta 2 so I'm not sure if this is fixed or not.

Yeah. Does it matter? It leaks when the browser view mode is changed with F9 or using the menu or what ever means possible.xnview wrote:With F9?
Edit: I made some testing and it seems that the leak is in the folder thumbnails. If folders are disabled in thumbnail view mode, it doesn't leak GDI objects. Can someone confirm?
By the way. Where did the option to disable the 4in1 folder thumbnails go? I can't find it.

Hello !
- I didn't find out a new "hidden" INI entry instead (that should do the trick, though…)
