Eats memory at 12 MB / second

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

I updated my system software yesterday, an incremental change to 10.4.11, and now I find that iClip is stunningly unusable. (I don't know for shure if the update is related, but the coincidence is certainly odd.) Upon launching iClip, it uses all available processor cycles and sucks up RAM at the rate of about 12 MB per second, apparently without limit. Soon there is a large bump in the virtual memory as well. I don't know what happens if this continues without limit. the application does not respond to the keyboard shortcut and there is no dock icon so the only way to kill it is to use Activity Monitor. Bummer. I rather liked iClip, even though it never displayed RTF text.

Eats memory at 12 MB / second - iliketrash

I received almost immediate attention from the developer who told me to trash the preferences as well as the clip cache file. (I had tried the latter but not the former.) The RAM-eating problem went away. (However, the inability to show RTF text in the expanded text window remains.)
