4.5.3 keeps staying in process list
« on: December 12, 2007, 03:10:15 PM »
Hello,

i have just updated to 4.5.3 and i noticed that photo mechanic stays in the process list after i have closed it.
I use Vista Business 32Bit on a Core 2 Duo E6750 with 4 Gig Ram.

Best Regards Philipp

Does it matter if you basically do nothing and then quit PM, or do you have to perform some sort of operation before quitting?

Hello Kirk,

if i have done nothing with 4.5.3 i closes correctly, if i open an contact sheet with 30 pictures from a 1D Mark II in it. It doesn`t close correctly and stays in the process list. Now i have two instances of pm in the process list. The old non working and a new one from the open programm. After closeing the new open one both stay in process list. Now a third one is open which also stays in the process list after closeing the program.

I use Kaspersky as virus scanner and now i have noticed that pm close correctly after disabeling the virusscanner. But with 4.5.2 pm closes correctly even with active virusscanner.

Best Regards
Philipp

OK, well I don't know what would make it not shut down properly but you can safely kill off those other instances with the Task Manager.

Hello Kirk,

the problem is that even one instance of pm doesn't shut down properly. I have just installed 4.5.2 again to figure out if this version has the same problem, but this one shuts down properly even if i open a lot of contact sheets with lots of pictures in them. Only 4.5.3 keeps staying in memory after closeing.

Best regards
Philipp

I agree that it is a problem.  I am just telling you what you can do to get those instances to disappear.  If I am able to reproduce the problem I will fix it.

I'm just going to have to see if I can reproduce the problem locally.

Thanks,

Follow up.  I tried to reproduce the problem on Windows Vista Ultimate edition and could not get it to fail to completely exit, ever.

I remember this from a previous version where my WS_FTP Explorer caused the same style of thing ... perhaps it is some other poorly behaved application hanging PM.
