I’m seeing the same thing after a recent PL6 update. I’m not sure if it was last week, but it is in the last couple weeks.
Version 6.18.0 build 74 seems to be a problem.
MacBook Pro
M2, 16GB mem
OSX Sonoma 14.5
With no other changes, I noticed after the last PL6 update, when I export photos, there is a memory leak. It seems related to the number of photos in the batch vs the setting for number of simultaneously processed images.
This is 100% repeatable for me.
Select 38 images → export jpeg 95%, I can watch swap (via activity montor) just start climbing steadily from 1GB → 40GB at which point I get notification about computer running out of memory and then the laptop becomes unresponsive to mouse/keyboard and a few minutes later the laptop restarts.
The crash is right around image 20-21. If I set simultaneous images down to 4 and repeat with the same photos, the crash happens at the same spot ~image 20-21, it just takes longer to get there.
Fix for me has been to select less photos in the export, but this is quite a workflow hindrance as I have to keep babysitting to start the next batch vs letting it run through all of them while I do something else.
I do use DeepPrimeXD. I haven’t tried a lesser DeepPrime setting (or off), but I really don’t want to, it is why I bought PL in the first place.
Is there a way to roll back versions? There is nothing I really needed in the last update. Up to the last version has been troublefree for me.
