Maybe we could discard Workspace content that are more than 10 days old Just an idea... Alexandre On 21 Jan 2009, at 01:44, Chris Cunningham wrote:

Mainly I was checking to see if there would be issues like this. I often do researchy things in workspaces which grab only large amounts of memory (100's of MB), and forget to nil them out afterwards. Then, weeks (or months) later I need to shrink the image, and eventually find my way back to the workspace where a simple nil clears them out. I was worried that if they were held onto in history, this would be a problem.
Keeping the strings around would be useful for me - my current image has about 20 workspaces open (and in 3.10 dev, this results in lots of minimized window title bars). Being able to store them off in history would be nice.
