Pulling the fullclipboarddata could end up doing a bit of work depending on what is on it. You would probably be better off using the rawclipboarddata to avoid LC doing any processing just so you can detect changes. Under normal circumstances, the various flavors of content will reflect the

update on this the memory consumption is definately to do with one of the messages that checks for changes in the clipboard every 333 milliseconds.. but does not retain what it finds. there is nothing else going on the computer and as far as i know the clipboard ISN't changingdoes

It may help to put a wait x milliseconds with messages in the repeat loop. This will give the engine a chance to do housecleaning. Bob S > On Jul 7, 2018, at 16:15 , Tom Glod via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi folks, > > I have a stack that has 2 or 3 self perpetuating messages which do a

Is it possible that multiple overlapping messages are being spawned? You mention that the checks happen every 250ms... are you doing a send in time at the end of the check or at the start? Thanks, Brian On Jul 7, 2018, 7:21 PM -0400, Tom Glod via use-livecode , wrote: > So i've been watching
