If you link the repo I might see if I get some free time to figure out why in god’s name it needs this much memory 😭

I have tried that yes. It didn't work lmao It is a NodeJS app to decompile QT .rcc resource files and dump the images out of them. I dumped the firmware of my car's dashboard and it is a 300MB QT file I am trying to decompile and it just dies after about 10 minutes of trying -_-

Although I ended up finding another program to do it on some Russian forum so not that big of a deal now

I dread having to work with a NodeJS project because I know nothing about it and run into these dumb ass issues every time I try to use it and it's infuriating

Ohhhh ok that makes more sense, but 4 GB is still wild 😭 glad you got it figured out though

Yeah the program I ended up using to extract them sucked up 12 GB of RAM but it did in fact finally spit out the images lmao

Why in gods name people insist on writing stuff in JavaScript outside of a browser I have no idea. But I seriously wish they would stop.

Electron’s not TERRIBLE but sometimes it seriously sucks. You have to make sure you’re not doing something wrong with it. There’s a project I worked on a little bit a few years ago called Tauri that is like Electron, but the apps are WAY smaller, use way less memory, and are more secure

I honestly am not sure what went wrong here. I looked at the code really quick and the only thing that might be an issue is that it looks like they’re trying to pass buffers between the Electron main and renderer processes. Unless something has changed in the last few years idk if that’s possible 😅 and if there are a ton of them, yeah, you’ll probably run out of memory

Did you do npm run start? Or download and run one of the releases?

I downloaded the release and then just ran it with the command they gave. Glad it makes sense to you because I had no idea what I was looking at lol. Once I finally got them out though it was like almost 1000 images in 4K resolution, as every animation was apparently saved as individual frames... which also seems like poor design but typical from an auto manufacturer

It seems like it was extracting them fine but it was when it went to go render all of their previews in the GUI is when it died

Oh hmm. Yeah it’s probably a ton of data to hold onto or something
