I am running the latest version. But it hasn't happened since public distribution started I don't think. so its all good. I am sad that the beta is over, but still, theres the Mac beta to look forward to. Maybe I will get into that.

Random Memory Leak

During Normal running, when in use, Bumptop takes around 50-100MB RAM (150 Max). But at random periods of time the memory usage increases to around 500MB and bumptop stops responding to anything (mouse or keyboard input). This may be linked with me locking and unlocking my system, but its happened outside those circumstances also (which is why I created a new topic for it). One possibility is that it sticks when downloading a new version (I am going by just now recieving the install prompt after restarting bumptop)

What operating system are you running?

Bump! This Folder still not working

Previously when I tried to enable to "Bump! This Folder" option in settings I would get the "Windows cannot find PostExec.exe" error. After the latest update (As of 08/04/09), the error went away, but the problem still remains. After I close the window, the checkbox unchecks itself and the button does not appear in any Windows Explorer Window.

I just had another idea related to this. Similar to a pile, you should be able to view the contents of a box by stringing it out (and the animation for this could be to just click inside the box and drag out)

Ashok Menon replied on April 07, 2009 21:48 to the idea "Boxes and shelves for folders." in BumpTop:

I think the boxes idea will work best because of the shape of the bumptop deskspace. It is essentially a box, meaning moving from the desktop to a box on the desktop is as simple as zooming into another box. So, creating a new directory could be creating a new box, and each new box should have within it a 'back' object, which is undeleteable. Shelves are possible already with some workarounds and I don't think the ideas of drawers and trays hold much weight because that would require desktop real estate be split up further (and this being a physics based desktop management system, I am seeing icons falling off this desk, constantly :P )

I really like this idea. And I think there are uses for it in the Productivity side of things.
