Extremely high memory consumption with this plugin active

[jtabox]

Hi, I recently discovered that my Flowlauncher was consistently using 1.5 Gb RAM at all times. After some trial and error, I found out that this specific plugin is the culprit, but in a weird way: just deactivating the plugin doesn't fix the issue, but deleting the plugin's folder from Flowlauncher's plugins folder fixes the issue and Flowlauncher now uses 200-300 Mb RAM.

It's only with this plugin it happens, I have 20 other plugins active that don't affect the memory. It's when this plugin's folder is present this happens.

Check this issue for details, other people seem to have similar issues too:

Deactivation cannot help because this plugin need to load history data no matter it is enabled or not.

Can this help? #4

Perhaps you have plenty of images in your clipboard history?

Nope, I checked, it's only 30 images.

This is Flowlauncher's memory status, the right one is without ClipboardPlus, the left one is with it:

Now I noticed it's actually the ClipboardPlus.db that seems to be the issue. It's not very big, it's 160 Mb, but if I delete it and restart Flowlauncher, the memory drops to 270 Mb from 1.3 Gb.

I have ClipboardPlus.db with 203Mb and Flow consumes about 400Mb. I cannot reproduce this problem on my side and so there is nothing I can do to optimize this (or very hard for me).

I think you can delete your unnecessary history items.

Out of curiosity, what time periods have you set to keep the various items? I mean the Keep text/images/files settings. How about Encrypt data in the database? Mine's inactive.

Also, I have Merge WIndows clipboard history set to active, and Use only Windows clipboard history to inactive, do you think it matters at all?

Anyway, for now I've deleted both the image cache and the previous ClipboardPlus.db and keeping an eye in memory consumption.
