User forums > Nightly builds
The 07 January 2012 build (7678) is out.

Question: I have found something interesting and I would like someone to explain to me this certain behavior.
I am under Windows XP, svn-7713, TDM's GCC 4.6.1 and as soon as I start Code::Blocks, I can see from Task Manager that it takes approximately 50,950K from memory, but as soon as I press the Minimize button it drops immediately to 5,250K ~= 6,200K.
Can someone explain this to me? Enlighten me please...
Cheers

Windows "feature", when something is minimized windows moves it out of memory.
All apps should behave the same.

sorry if this seems obvious to everyone but could you explain that a little more for me please; i'm trying to wrap my head around the primary window operations in various o/s's atm :)
Also a quick offtopic: I just noticed that the nightly I installed last night ( my first install of C::B on this pc ) seems to be self-contained in the extracted folder; does this mean that C::B is self-contained and therefore can be used without installing it anywhere like on a usb stick?

Here is some discussion about it: http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/TechOff/454007-Minimize-Window-Drop-its-Mem-Usage
C::B is not self contained, because by default it saves the settings in your home folder (%APP_DATA%/Codeblocks).
For self contained c::b you need c::b portable. Search the forum for more details.

Sweet, thanks!
hmm... here's a question.. if we extract the nightly build of C::B to a usb stick and then run it at least once on all the computers we are using ( linux box 1,2,3 xp box, win 7 box ect ) then would that also work as well? -or- would the portable verison be best?
I ask because i'd like to not loose any features in favor of portability if that makes sence :)
