you know that memory leak thats been reported.
i think i found the cause and its not really a bug as far as i can tell.
only way to put it is this way.
some one mucked up the monkey.
yep that's it.
heres what is going on in mm 3 i seen this before in RC 3 version.
thought it was something i had done in the settings.
but i just seen it again.
monkey is taking all the album art it see's all the album art.
either online or in a folder on your computer.
converting it to a bigger image format. and saving it in mmcache\temp
now wheather or not you meant for it to do that and empty the cache upon closing of media monkey i don't know.
if you ment for it to keep them there forever then thats a muck up. since it converts all images to bmp format one of the larger image formats. it then causes the temp folder to fill up with all the images, because it is not emptying the cache on exit.
this all is done in the background and will eat up memory and hd space the converting alone will cause slowdowns because its converting to bmp. instead of leaving it in the found format.
it does not need to move it at all. it only needs to link to it.
why do i say it is mucking up the monkey and the system.
because i jsut spent 45 minutes deleteing every dadblasted bmp in the temp folder. and got over 60 mb's of space back.
thats a muck up caused by it not emptying the cache its self.
and by it converting the images to bmp files needlessly.
