It was a SSD that failed I had in less then six months. I am now out of space to plug one in. as I have other drives hooked up I work with.
Here is the pop up I got last night when it all locked up and crashed when rendering out.
After reboot I did find that if I render out only 10 images at a time I can make it work this takes a lot longer to sit here working. If I go to even 15 it Lockes up with the pop up.
The crop tool not working right is killing my hand grabbing it over and over till it will start to work. I crop every image so now this turns into thousands of extra hand movement to get the cropping done on a job.
I had the same problem on PL 6.17, windows 10 crash (laptop) our of the blue… and opened a ticket. It turned out that there were crashes too when DXO wasnt loaded and it later disappeared so presumably after some updates in the brackground (firmware or so) it was solved).
My first assumption was that staorage management i.e. releasing RAM after certain processing was not desinged as state of the art but as storage resident (in order to improve overall performance) … could be furthermore.
I was told “they were starting to investigate it” last Friday. You’d think a bug such as this would have high priority but it’s in the middle of vacation season so half the staff is probably on the beach.
…I ran 60 images without the warning, but with a second run, swapping got excessive as you can see in my post in the other thread. My usual setting is to export 3-4 images at one time. Images of 12 and 22 Mpixels in a 30:30 mix…
The first run filled about 30 of the 40 GB available RAM and that RAM was not purged whence the export processes had stopped.
Week same here this is getting to hard work. My ticket hasn’t resulted in a fix yet. I do a lot of focus stacks so like to let photolab export batches while. Do other things but anything over about 60 images it cashed the computer. Tried to close photolab between small exports didn’t work so not clearing memory. I will now try and reboot computer between stacks of about 60 images to see if that works. I hope photolab will fix this before they go on holiday
Activity monitor can show the processes and how much memory they take. Deleting the XPCCore processes should purge the memory. Also, there is a “purge” terminal command, but I normally don’t use it, and if I do, I do it in OnyX.app.
