Misspelled now integrates with WIM (Wow Instant Messenger), providing interactive spell-checking in WIM chat windows. Also now includes a French spell-checking dictionary.

I'm glad to hear your up and running on the latest version. The change-log outlines the many, many issues that have been fixed since version r17.

Version r18 greatly reduced the memory needed to store the internal dictionary. Adding friends and guild player names to the dictionary will only add a very small amount of additional memory.

I run that a lot, have it on macro, it's always 11.8 minimum. When in use it grows to 12.7 and I think once I saw it at 14 something. I am un-guilded and keep less than ten in friends list.

Okay and here it is I was all set to even post screenshots for you and what would my eyes see lmao - 5.7mb on start!

So - I know only one answer to this - I was using Version: 0.1.17 when I was speaking of the 11.8mb on fresh start. It was three days ago when I downloaded Version 0.2.32.

So something you changed between .toc Version: 0.1.17 and .toc Version 0.2.32 fixed it up. What I don't understand though is ever since my first post on this webpage and the ones after it I was running .toc Version: 0.1.17 it was the newest version to download but even back then you claimed 5.8mb on yours - were you using an updated version long before the rest of us had it?

So issue solved I guess! Whatever you changed recently fixed the memory use.

Thanks!

SIDENOTE: I was guilded at the time it was 11.8mb - the guild had 57 total guild alts. So what you said about adding another garbage collection after loading friends list or guild list I don't think will matter one way or another because I always ran that garbage collect macro anyhow and it never made a difference for your addon, the lowest it always stayed at is 11.7mb.

So - again - either it's something you recently changed between the two versions that fixed it and made it 5.7mb or the problem has to do with being guilded because the only two things that changed for me (in game) is I updated to your .toc Version 0.2.32 and I disbanned my guild.

So now I am wondering if being in a guild, even though it was small was the issue. I was the guild master. If you don't think the changes you made between the two versions would affect memory use is it possible being a guild master of small guild had anything to do with it? I don't know. All I know now is I am unguilded and use .toc Version 0.2.32 and I'm at 5.7mb on start. So now I am wondering if I still had my guild, what would it be 11.7 or 5.7mb? Oh well, hopefully you have a perfectly good answer =)

I perform a garbage collection after loading the dictionary. I'm wounding if, after loading your friends and guild members, I should do another.

Try typing /run collectgarbage("collect")
See what your memory is after that.

I know you said when first loaded it's 5.7mb but for me it's not, it's what I said before 11.8mb.

This is on fresh reboot of system, start the game, enter game, and without typing messages to anyone or in any channel it's 11.8mb. I would love to see it be 5.7mb =) Tell me how?

When first loaded, Misspelled uses about 5.7Mb (A bit more if you use the German client & dictionary). As you type is gobbles up a bit more to lookup suggestions and cache results. The garbage collector will return much of this memory to you, over time.

With Misspelled, the speed of the code is a bit of a trade off for more memory usage. That being said, I'm continuing to profile each function looking for ways to improve speed and memory usage.

As long as the Warcraft process isn't approaching the 2GB per/process memory limit, and assuming your system has 2GB+ Ram, you should be just fine with 90mb worth of addon memory. The memory usage doesn't slow down the client, unless the addon is needlessly creating work for the GC. The CPU usage profile of a given addon is far more important to overall game play FPS, assuming your system has sufficient memory.

I'm glad to see Misspelled is playing well with your 200 addons, I hope you continue to use it.

Please help and report any issues that arise while using Misspelled.

Thanks

Wow, I didn't know until after I installed it that this addon uses 11Mb + in memory. Any way to reduce that some maybe compress the files more? I only ask because I am trying to cut down on large memory use addons, I just kicked Auctioneer Advanced to the curb same day I installed this and this is almost the same size lol so I didn't accomplish my goal.

With AucAdv gone this is now the highest memory use addon I have installed next one below it is 5mb. Embarrassed to say this but I have about 200 addons installed and with this one I'm sitting at 90mb in memory for all of them.

FINALLY! lol An addon I have been waiting for. I type very fast but am sloppy and make a lot of typos. There was one addon that kind of worked but in the end seemed to create more typos than I normally made myself. It was one of those word replacement types of spellcheckers.

I am certainly looking forward to this one, I will be trying it tonight.

Thanks

crosses fingers it actually works as described and shown*
