Has anyone else noticed memory usage climbing while using OG? When I opened the work file, memory usage was around 450 MB. After working for half an hour - and not doing anything really complicated - usage was over 1.1 GB. I closed the file (down to 250 MB) and reopened (about 435 MB) and after sitting idle for a couple minutes and just being in front on that desktop, memory usage had climbed again (to over 540 MB).
Yep. Happens to me every time I use OG (Mac). I have gotten into the habit of keeping the application closed and paying the price of reopening it every time. Also, why is OmniGraffle the only app that doesn’t reopen previously opened documents on start? Apple only added that into the OS a decade or so ago.
I leave the Activity Monitor open. If it starts slowing down, I check memory usage and, if over 1GB, shut down and restart it. I have also noticed some improvement if I can close the file and re-open instead of the application. I have it minimized right now with a basic file still open and it seems to be okay.
The times I really notice the memory usage explode is when I zoom in for small detailed adjustments to my drawing. But I also have a lot of images in my drawing until I trace (from PDF scan to vector) them.
Going to have to buy a new computer for the new version they are making. Needs to be newer MacOS…and this laptop can’t go any newer than 12. Good excuse to get an M series laptop…
