Possible memory leak in MAC 2020.31-.35
« on: September 10, 2020, 05:12:49 PM »
While updating a sequence today I had been working on for a day, I applied the strobe effect to my Main Display all group.   I had the strobe effect up to about 140 lights.  It was working and was showing teh desired effect in teh model preview window.  So I decided to render the sequence to play it so I could see the newly added effect.  After about an hour of sitting which is unusual for my machine and sequences, xLights popped up an out of memory error.  I had only mail open at the time.  I had to force quit xLights and reboot the machine.  Now with nothing but xLights open, I decided to simply delete the strobe effect on the Main Display group.  At that point it simply became non responsive requiring a hard boot.  This occurred every subsequent attempt to restart and delete the offending effect.  I then upgraded to .35 and it did the exact same thing requiring me to fall back to an easier version of the sequence.  I have not tried adding it back again.  Attached are the log files for one of teh attempted deletions and crashes.  I did not catch the original one which had teh memory leak as it would not allow me to do anything in xLights. Also attached is the affected sequence.
