[ome-users] Memory leak in Bio-Formats & Fiji on Mac OS X?

[David Gault (Staff)]

Hi Vladimir,

Thank you for providing feedback and details regarding this and my apologies for the delayed response.
We have been carrying out some extensive testing this week in order to root cause the problem.
It is certainly an issue that we can reproduce for certain images and hopefully I hope to have a fix in place for it later this week.

With Thanks,
David Gault

I’m importing large microscopy videos (1+ GB) in .tif format using the Bio-Formats importer, one video at a time only (I close the previous video before importing a new one). Very soon I start getting out of memory exceptions (Fiji is set to a ~3.7 GB memory limit, my own system has 16 GB RAM). It is clear both from Mac’s Activity Monitor and Fiji’s Memory Monitor that most memory is not released, even after I click Fiji’s status bar. This does not happen if I open the files though Fiji (not Bio-Formats) - the memory is released after I close the file and click on Fiji’s status bar.
