I can still reproduce the issue after fixing the bug above. When I start phatch it will take 20.2 MB of memory. During the processing of the first and second images it will jump to 163 MB even though each one of them is 3.5 MB. Then the memory usage will increase quickly with each image to take all available free memory. I canceled the image processing when phatch was using about 255 MB, some memory was freed but phatch is still using 194 MB. I closed phatch without saving changes and interestingly it took about 10-20 seconds to close during that time the memory usage increased as well to about 220 MB.
This laptop only have 500 MB of memory not 2GB as I reported before. But this increase of memory makes it impossible to process big images even though the sizes combined should fit into memory.

Status in Phatch = Photo & Batch!: Confirmed

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.
