Today I was trying to use phatch to resize 58 images each one of them is between 3-5 MB. The machine is has 2 GB of RAM. Phatch memory consumption started to increase quickly with each image until it was killed by the system for exhausting the memory. By the time it was Killed 27 images were resized. The only output in the console was:Killed
Looks like a memory leak or the garbage collector is unable to free memory in time.

Status in Phatch = Photo & Batch!: New

Bug description:
Ubuntu 9.10
Phatch 0.2.5 from PPA
1go RAM
2go swap


I am trying to rename about 200 photos taken with a 10MP camera, the photos are between 4 and 5Mo each. I am renaming them using the exif data (<Exif_Photo_DateTimeOriginal.year>-<##Exif_Photo_DateTimeOriginal.month>-<##Exif_Photo_DateTimeOriginal.day>). This action takes less than 1min with phatch 0.1.6 but it takes more than an hour with phatch 0.2.5. Phatch uses 80% of the RAM and swap available. See picture attached of the freed memory when Phatch is stopped.
