[maguowei]

when i try to drop a video in to it , It create over than 100GB temp file in the /tmp dir。 I think it is a bug.

ps: the video file is created by Quick time player Screen Recording

Thank you for your comment, I just was curious why I did lost 10GB in a second.

You have to delete this software or solve this problem.

@mortenjust I just ran out of space on my MBP with 30 gigs worth of tempfiles in /tmp/

Everyone, I have not been able to reproduce this bug. Please note any details you think could be helpful, like the size of the movie file, its type, etc.

@KevinCashinfo you can get your 10Gb back by rebooting your mac or deleting the temp files manually. After that feel free to delete the app and never install it again.

@mortenjust Regular .mov screen capture, about 1.8mb. When I drop the file in the app's window, it loops in the window of the app continuously. I then quit the app, but it seems it keeps rendering temp-files in /tmp/ until the hard drive is full.

System info: MBP, 15", Early 2013, 2.7GHz i7,16GB RAM, OS X 10.11.6.

Wow.

a. If you or anyone are able to, could you share an example of a movie file that fills up temp? b. Could you try launching Droptogif from the shell and paste in the output here or on pastebin? (Go to terminal and paste this /Applications/Drop\ to\ GIF.app/Contents/MacOS/Drop\ to\ GIF)

This might be an issue with Gifify or one of it's dependencies https://github.com/jclem/gifify/issues/35

(I killed the app manually after it looped four-five times.)

It could be that gifify just doesn't end the process.

Encountered the same issue on High Sierra 10.13.1. ~20GB of tempfiles created while attempting to convert a 21mb mov captured with QuickTime.

(just putting this out here for anyone encountering the same issue on High Sierra, since this ticket is rather old.)

[deeprest]

gifify uses ImageMagick which by default has no limit on how much temporary file space is used, apparently.
