Sorry guys, I looked more deeply and found there was a caching mechanism deep in the processing of bmp files. The bmp file and its name are kept and if you re-use the name, PowerPro uses a memory copy of the bitmap. The reasoning was - make it faster to show bitmaps for menus - avoid having multiple copies of bitmap when used in multiple places (eg for button background on skin)
Note that cached files can be shared between bars so it is not enough to delete the cache when the bar closes The right way to fix this would be to create a file.watchfolder for each bmp file in the cache and update the file cache whenever it changes. Then I have to go through each bar and update any bitmap references to the old cache. This will take a while to get right It might be simpler just to get rid of the caching, now that people have a lot more memory on their machines.
