Mountain duck huge memory leak on macOS

[champagnealexandre]

Describe the bug
Cyberduck leaks memory on macOS Monterey. For example, right now it’s using 1.14GB of RAM memory. This happens even after restarts, etc.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I have set-up bookmarks for sftp and Google Drive. Not sure what’s causing this exactly.

Expected behavior
Use less than 1GB of RAM ;-)

Additional context
I have tried to reach out for support (mountainduck.io) and I was told to use a RAM memory cleaner (!!!)

This sure does not make sense. But we run a virtual machine on macOS that will only eventually release memory on garbage collection and not necessarily when no longer retained. Thus you might see a decrease in memory usage only when there is memory pressure. I will close this as we use this issue tracker only for Cyberduck. We will follow up in your support request.

Relates to #12695.

Thanks for the follow up @dkocher.

I'm running Version 4.13.8 (21184)...a Beta I believe....I just noticed MD was using 8.1 GB of memory. Ha! Restarted it,

At least once a day I need to restart Mountain duck cause my machine suddenly runs out of memory. Using v4.16.3

I'm experiencing this too with v4.16.3 on macOS 15.0.1 on a m1 Mac Mini. Just restarted Mountain Duck after it was consuming 2.6GB with one Dropbox share mounted.

Is this still the case? I'm using an M2 MAC MINI and I'm still experiencing similar symptoms. I have about 3 mounting points enabled and it takes about 3~4GB of memory :(

Let me one up you. This is insane
