[DevTeam] [Zeke]: I love that I get emailed when someone reports spam on the boards, but I can't do anything about it.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: lol i got you
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: How about "hide email address from public checked" and it's still visible in all my posts...
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: I'd delete my account on this site, but by the time I realized the problem half the spambots on the planet had it already
[Developer] [Pazza]: Astaldo if you log out and view your profile with a refresh you'll see that your email is hidden.
[Developer] [Pazza]: Your user level on the forums permit you to see emails even though they are marked hidden.

hi.
is the wim memory usage related to the size of the wim.lua?

my lua is now about 12 mb and wim uses about 35 mb ingame.
when it´s true that wim alway loads the whole history and not only the last lines i set at the options, is it possible to save the history at another file for example and let the history only be loaded on demand, to reduce the menory usage?

thanx in advance and for this great addon.Smiley

fine regards

No question is a stupid question.

Let me explain. First a quick answer... yes your memory usage is a direct correlation to the size of the wim.lua file in your saved variables. And yes, it has to do with your history.

Yes the entire history file could be used on a load on demand basis but then it would need to be attached as a separate addon. Unfortunately you can not have certain files within one addon be load on demand. Hope that makes some sense to you... It's the way addons work within WoW.

Are you nuts for having a large history? Not at all. Many users like to keep their entire history. I have encountered some people with over 50 megs of data in their history files...

Solution? Not at this time. I know it is an issue and I am trying to think of the best way to handle this.

Hint: I plan on making a service on this site to host your history online, account related... It will have to be a pay per month deal however. Not much. I figure $1/mo should cover any of my expenses.

thanx for your answer pazza.
yes it makes sense to me, and of cause i am very glad to hear that i am not completely nuts...Wink
what about this...
a new export and import function.
export - to export and delete the history in the lua, reload ui and have "clean" memory
import - to import the saved history, reload ui and you can read all your conversations ingame
don´t know if its possible, it was just an idea...Wink

fine regards
