RAM usage/memory leak on Mac OS

Explorer ,
Feb 22, 2024 Feb 22, 2024

Hi there,

 

I've been having this problem for about half a year now. I thought it would get fixed in the recent 13.2 LRC update, but that wasn't the case.

 

So what happens is that my RAM fills up when LRC is idling for some time. I work on LRC then move to another task, put the iMac in sleep mode, wake it up again the next day and at some point memory usage goes from around 7 GB to 150 GB (!).

 

Looks like a memory leak to me. Pls Adobe, fix this.

 

Running Mac OS 14.3.1.

 

Thanks

This definitely helped. I had errors in Sync Activity (Preferences->Lightroom sync). After clearing them, memory usage decreased and responsiveness of Lightroom Classic increased. I now keep cloud sync paused unless I need it.
