The concept of Jing is the always-ready program that instantly captures and shares images and video…from your computer to anywhere.

Hiya,

As you may have noticed, the current version (1.4.8028) of Jing for Windows (or winJing as we call it internally) has HUGE 'memory leaks (errr...poor memory management. .NET doesn't have 'memory leaks').

Well, we are sorry about that. And we've finally gotten around to fixing a bunch of them. The fixes will be in the next update which should be coming out very soon.

A word of warning.

It might happen that you run that next update, open Task Manager, take a peek at Jing and say 'Whaaa? 200 MB Mem Usage?! You haven't fixed anything!'

Well, yes it's possible (even likely) that we still have some clean up to do. But, basically Jing will always appear to take up a healthy chunk of memory. I'm going to write a short series of blog posts on why the memory usage is biggish, what you should expect as normal memory usage and also suggest a better way to monitor Jing for any future poor memory management.

As always, if you see any performance degradation in Jing or other applications when running Jing, please let us know via TechSmith technical support.

have a good day,

As a fond farewell to the old, leaky Jing, let's see who can leave a capture of their largest Jing Mem Usage.

I'll start it off with my current memory usage
