out of memory,,,

[LinuxSam]

I used to have this problem in Bibble 5 too..

When looking through folders, with lots of images, I now an then get a popup that says "Bibble is unable to allocate more memory and will now quit" And obviously they haven't changed the error message since the change of the name.

I'm now running Debian GNU/Linux 64bit with 12Gb of RAM and in no way is Bibble/ASP out of memory...

Anybody else get this error and do you know what causes it? How to fix it?

You might want to go into Preferences - Import & Cache and check your current cache size. Perhaps increasing the Target size will help, especially when in File System.

Of course it is out of memory.
No matter how much memory your 64bit box has, a 32bit app is still limited by the 4GB barrier but practically that is closer to 3GB.
While the last release of B5 fixed loads of memory leaks, looks like there is still one active, so it runs out of memory or stumbles across its ownfeet trying to juggle memory allocation (though that is typically a Windows problem).

Cache size is irrelevant for memory usage.
But, having all images cached and not needing preview generation will help memory usage by avoiding preview generation runs that could use up memory

As we have been discussing in another thread, ASP is still compiled with the 32 bit libraries even in the so-called 64 bit versions. I have pointed this out to the Corel techs, so we may hope that they will produce a genuine 64-bit version at some point in the future.
