Tagging files works fine, but during the rename process something is going oddly wrong in the background. Tag.exe doesn't show up in Task Manager for me, but System memory starts climbing at a very rapid pace. I can sit and watch it jump upwards in increments of about 30MB.

I'm running Tag from the 1.4 frontend and specifying a directory to start from, then having it run through all the subdirectories. I would guess it has something to do with the recursion. There are 140 subfolders in the directory and almost 1700 files. It quits when my virtual and system memory fills up, adding about 1GB to my usual memory load.

Let me know if there's anything else you need me to try in troubleshooting this.

First, find options.txt from your %TEMP% directory and copy/paste here the commands. This problem sounds very strange as recursive working doesn't allocate memory at all, it just goes to one directory at a time to do it's job.

--rentag --scheme "N) A - T" --recursive "M:Softer" *.*

Also, it only fills up the virtual memory. When I kill the DOS window it clears out the virtual memory again.

I checked the code, there was bug with memory allocation. I had forgot that I used playlist buffer also with renaming and didn't free it. New fixed version is uploaded. I also made memory management more error proof by forcing program to close if memory allocation fails.
