It must have been due to the amount of text in the Recent Items. Thanks for following up! ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-memory-usage/?ID=d6b42e30-8063-4bc0-96c6-1de6078bfe35#6 Fri, 06 May 2016 13:51:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-memory-usage/?ID=d6b42e30-8063-4bc0-96c6-1de6078bfe35#6 ClipboardFusion Now deleted the history in a few batches. Each time the memory would increase then settle back but to a higher figure.

After deleting all the recent items a few minutes ago the memory is still jumouing up and down, max 3+ GB down to 1GB.

I have now restarted it. The memory is now 92.0MB, much better.

This explains the memory usage so I need to watch what I copy.

Cheers,

If I restart ClipBoardFusion the memory drops to about 850MB but if I look at recent items it climbs back to near 2GB. I have noticed that my copied items are not syncing to the internet either.

This has happened before but started working again without my intervention so again not bothered about it.

I will try deleting the history to see what happens.

Cheers,

If you restart ClipboardFusion, and just leave it running for a while without copying large amounts of text, does the memory usage increase slowly over time? ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-memory-usage/?ID=d6b42e30-8063-4bc0-96c6-1de6078bfe35#3 Thu, 05 May 2016 10:13:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/high-memory-usage/?ID=d6b42e30-8063-4bc0-96c6-1de6078bfe35#3 ClipboardFusion Hi Keith,

A few pictures but mainly large amounts of text (copying csv exports to an excel sheet).

I guessed that would cause the memory figures IF the history was stored in memory and not in a database.

If my assumptions are correct then would clearing the history (or specific entries) reduce the memory load?

It is not causing a big problem, just curious and just in case in the future.

Cheers,

I have noticed (only just looked) that ClipboardFusion is using a lot of memory (2,183.2 MB).

I assume this is because of the "stuff" I have copied recently being stored in memoory rather than a database?

Is there a way to reduce this memory usage?

Cheers,
