PMView keeps on keeping on!<g> - PM View remains in memory after close Options

[Guest_John Angelico_*]

Hi Peter and all in the forum. I'm a very happy steady user of PM-Viewlatest version 2.32 on my eCS system

However, I notice that after I finish with the last graphic file, closing PM-View doesn't actually remove it from memory. I use Watch Cat to kill stuck processes - usually Netscape. and that's how I saw it there. I have also recently noticed that PM-View sometimes even prevents my system from shutting down.

Hope this is clear enough to identify a cause and see about a fix. I don't mind it staying in memory, if that helsp speed up later uses of teh program, but I hope it can be politely told to shut down by the system, rather than having me rudely shout at it via Watch Cat. ::

Hi John,

This is a well-known problem caused by NewView. Deinstall NewView and everything should work fine. (I beleive that the latest version of NewView available should solve the problem, but I haven't verified it).

Thanks,
