Hello,

I have a problem loading images into the pix_image object. It seems that anytime I load a picture it fills the RAM memory, even if I load the same image every time (I just need one image at a time). Is there a way to

empty

...

the memory when I change the image? There is a point when the memory is

full

...

and PD shuts down.

I?m attaching the patch.

[counter] cannot create.

please be more specific about your setup:

• OS

MAC OS 10.5.2 (IMAC, 1GB Ram memory)

• Gem-version

0.91.1

, Pd-version

0.40.3-extended

• the order of magnitude of number of images you are trying to load

10...one at a time

• size of images

10KB-50KB

• amount of RAM increased each time you load an image

1-2MB

does the problem persist if you disconnect [pix_image] from whatever comes afterwards?

Yes
