Memory Leak: Not enough quota

On the next start of the Filter Forge (running standalone now), it won't start. I'm figuring this is due to the crash, and I'm off to delete the xml, or reinstall, depending on success.

------- the prefs file follows, and then the crash report:

Deleting the Preferences.xml will help (it's holds your preferences, which will be reset to default), but before dismissing this as a quota limitation, I would like to ask you to measure the size of "%APPDATA%\Filter Forge" folder -- probably we have some other bug which pollutes your profile?

Please contact your system administrator (or tune your quota settings if you're an admin).

Can you say more about this quota? I have never run into this issue. I'm the owner/admin on a single-user system. Disk free space is currently running at 24GB

P.S. we're surely may be hitting the non-paged pool limit or handle limit (because of resource leaks), but disk quota is just easy to check, while other aren't.

Okay, we'll look into it (we have at least two known resource leaks for now, so probably when they will be fixed it will fix this problem also).

I cleared up another 3GB on my c: drive to see whether this would make any difference. No change. After about 30 interactions in the filter editor the 'not enough quota' error appears.

Please check my reply at http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...=8&TID=224

I got the same error, and I have 100+ GB free. I've found that it MAY be a memory leak, since after using the software for long periods of time it becomes slower and slower and eventually will crash with most often "out of memory error" or the one above. There is something amiss, but after all... it is a beta version.

Thanks for the information, but we already fixed a set of problems that may lead to such problems. Although we're not _completely_ sure that new release will help, we never observed such problematic behavior in our internal testing of the new version, so we presume it to be fixed. Stay tuned for the next release.
