This is the 'lastimage' window, used to create the web UI thumbnail/preview. It is not closing despite being Document.Close()'d and released. They don't close, resulting in an eventual "out of memory" error. This was discussed via email with Mike Miller not on the Comm Center.



This isn't a real problem, but while trying to reproduce one where windows "proliferate" and cause things to grind to a halt (at one site only!), I did notice that when simulating some windows were left open and depend on MaxIm's "lazy" closing of saved documents. Adding a Camera.Document.Close() after calling SimulateImage() in AcquireSupport makes things better.




Still, the simulated image stays open until it's time to do the next target. ???



    If PtgPrefs.Simulate Then                                   ' If simulating images (don't rotate for GEM)
        SimulateImage simRA, simDec, simPA, Interval, MaxType, workFile, pixFmt  ' This saves it to disk
        Camera.Document.Close
    Else
        If Not c_haveRotator And Util.GEMWestOfPier And _

See this message from James MacCormac -- he's happy now, the windows are staying.

No longer close all windows in MaxIm at the end of a run. Cross our fingers.
GEM:1362

 

Oh geeze, more "leave it". Just remove the CloseAll(). We can cross our fingers.

REOPENED - See this Comm Center thread, and specifically Richard Ditteon's request to leave the last image up in MaxIm after the run ends. Move the call to MaxIm.CloseAll() into SUP.Initialize()

The dynamic trackbox saving (ACP-1355) somehow caused this to happen. I have disabled that feature.

Polling improvements to file-based weather servers. GEM:1383 Close pointing image window only GEM:1362
        
    

The time delays did not work. Nullifying the 'lastimage' creation logic resulted in great operation all night, no orphan windows. Need to post this on the MaxIm forum.

"lastimage" window is staying open on some systems, despite being .Close()'ed. Added 1 sec delays in Mike Miller's AcquireImages to see what happens.

Close work file window after saving just-acquired image.
GEM:1362

 

Actually Close it for the live or simulated image. Change made to AcquireSupport and tested.
