Package: geeqie Version: 1:1.0-7 Severity: grave Test 1: Open a directory containing 10--100 JPEG images, each 500KB--1MB in size. Set geeqie to use a 1:1 zoom and view the images one by one by pressing the space key. Eventually, geeqie starts to cause thrashing. My Linux box has only 512MB of memory.
Test 2: Run the following shell script #!/bin/sh ulimit -v 262144 # 256MB exec /usr/bin/geeqie "$@" and do the same thing as Test 1. There is no thrashing this time. But, geeqie eventually stops displaying the images and displays a small icon with a red cross (which presumably represents a broken image). These tests are 100% reproducible and strongly suggest some error in memory management. This problem never occurred in the days of GQview. I'd understand if the viewer slowed down when the main memory is small, but an image viewer shouldn't stop working with a main memory of 512MB. I hope not. (GQview was the only, light-weight and functional image viewer. After it became geeqie, is it losing the light-weightness?)
