Glitch delays Photoshop Express update

Posted by Ina Fried

Adobe Systems has delayed a planned update to Photoshop Express after discovering a last-minute glitch.

"As you know, we were preparing updates to the Photoshop Express beta on May 7th that added significant new functionality to the product," Adobe said in a statement. "However, prior to going live, we discovered a bug that requires a fix. We're committed to delivering a quality experience with Photoshop Express and don't want to send out an update that isn't ready for prime time."

Adobe said it is "working on a quick resolution." but did not say exactly when it will go ahead with the update, which adds a direct connection to Flickr.

"Stay tuned," Adobe said. "We'll have an exact time frame on when you can expect these new Photoshop Express features soon."

Could it be the giant freaking memory leak that Flash Player 9 has which causes apps to NEVER release their memory back to the operating system till the Flash VM exits. My firm has been developing a rather large AIR application only to run into the fact that after a few hours of normal usage the memory sky rockets to over half a gig of ram! No matter how much clean up we do garbage collection in Flash Player 9 will not free up a majority of the memory it has allocated. It was never desgined for large, persistant applications. Adobe is aware of this too and has yet to address it! AIR is basically unusable right now for any serious applications! More info on a couple of blogs: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2008/04/failure_to_unlo.html <-- this guy wrote quite a number of components for Flash CS3 and is pretty well respected in the Flash/Flex community. http://www.craftymind.com/2008/04/09/kick-starting-the-garbage-collector-in-actionscript-3-with-air/
