MC Needs to be killed [solved]
« on: October 11, 2007, 07:47:52 am »

Granted this is an old machine but I'm stuck in a loop; every time I start MC, it locks up when I try to switch schemes. Thumbnails are missing and MC just can't hash it out and needs to be killed every time. I've seen this behavior crop up on various machines. Anything suspicious from the end of the log?

If you're killing MC, your database may now be corrupt.

Try setting up a new library and re-importing.  Then see how it behaves.

If the database is this easily corrupted, MC should never have to be killed bu the user; their should be some kind of protection because their are going to be times when it simply has to be done (directshow conflicts, etc.)

Regardless, this is the machine that gets that esoteric "Out of Memory" error every now and again.

When MC is running on this machine Task Manager reports it is utilizing around 29mb of RAM, but I couldn't figure out why I had so little available RAM (only40mb left of 512) which is contributing to sluggish performance. When I close MC I suddenly have 350mb available.

MC is now open and accessing my mapped drives; I know have 50mb of RAM.
Why does MC access the file on the remote drive (the network is blazing right now) if I have local thumbnails & library.

I'm willing to reload the library. My other laptop does not have this issue with the same setup and that is Vista x64 (yeah I know you must loive that one), but this rig is XP SP2.

I tried a new library, copied a new version to local drive as well. Both now work well with this ancient laptop. I guess the library was corrupted. Makes me a little nervous.

If you kill any program that uses a database, you'd better have a good backup of the data.

Yes, a program could be written to reconstruct data (a journaling filesystem, for example).  Yes, we could write an operating system.  Etc. etc.  But please back up your data and please don't expect your database to survive if you kill the program.  Let it run for a while.

Then you could try for world domination.
