My Pictures v2.0

I guess I'm questioning that line of rational. You are assuming there are no memory leaks or other issues. My point is that I NEVER experience any problems during any other usage with the computer. Is it that there is a problem and that is the reason the page file is so huge and behaves so different from any other application? I do have two HDD's so I can try setting up two page files. From what I have seen I'm inclined to think that no matter how much ram or how big the page file(s) are that it will eat up the virtual memory.... it might take longer because of more memory or a larger page file but it will still run out of virtual memory. Just my .02 from what I have seen. Not having experience with the programming I was wondering if there are other means of ensuring that memory is being cleared after use?
It's a great plugin and I'm hoping to be able to let it run for a few hours. Looking for a good way to troubleshoot it w/o throwing $ at it unnecessarily.

ok with thousands of photos all around 3megs, you are always going to have memory issues.  i tried viewing around 800 pictures around 2megs each in xbmc and in said "xbox out of memory, turn off machine..." (or something along those lines).  try that memory management program tipstir is always going on about, other than that, theres not much you can do, short of converting all your pictures to small sizes, or just not using the random feature.  like really why would you want to watch a thousand pictures anyway? i get bored after ten.

1000 x 3megs = 3000 megs of memory (hence the problem, even if i dispose of all the images, if its in the virtual memory it stays there until windows disposes of it, thats why its annoying. well i think one of my lecturers said that, or someone on this forum, windows handles it, .net can only dispose of things actually in the ram (i think)).
