LiveCode Forums.

I was trying to watch a vid online earlier tonight, but everything was choppier than I would have expected. I'm running Windows, so I checked to see what processes were running via the task manager. There were over 100 instances of Livecode 7's ".setup.exe *32" ticking away!

It turns out that whenever I have exited the program in the last few months, it has remained running in the background. I generally prefer hibernating to shutting down, so you can understand the accumulation of instances. What's going on? I've noticed now that this is happening with standalones created with this version of LC as well.

Can anyone confirm if this is occurring in versions later than 7.0.0.10018? Does this happen with the new 8 release? Is there a workaround for the standalones?

Thanks

I'm running LC 8, and have upgraded from DP13 up through to the stable release from the other day - none of them have stuck around after closing. That said, I did some stuff with sockets a few months ago with LC 7 I'm pretty sure, and when I was doing that, every so often LC didn't close properly as you mentioned. It wasn't using too much memory, just not letting my sockets work properly. I suspect it was an issue with my coding though rather than with LC, though I could be wrong?

That is an old bug I believe has long been fixed. You can check it by using the current version, 8.0.

Alright, thanks guys. Good motivation to upgrade.
