Bug Description

Installed via the development ppa as the stable one had dependency problems and so couldn't be installed in Mint 12. Using 1GB of memory constantly, playing or idle.

Otherwise the best, most functional, sanest UI. THANK YOU.

One issue i'm currently aware of is that import will cause a dramatic increase in memory. Does the memory usage lower when restarting the app? How many songs do you have?

Thanks for the bug report.

Sorry, I had to tell them initially. Yes, I've restarted a couple of times thinking the same thing, but the memory usage haven't changed: 1GB.

I have 12000 FLACs.

My guess then is that it's because of the cover art. All cover art is loaded into memory (twice actually, for shadows). I'm hoping to get rid of the non-shadowed art for 1.0 to cut the pixbuf's in half.

Good to hear. This is certainly acceptable with such a large library size, so marking as fix released.
