Hi
I'm using a folder compare in Beyond Compare 4.2.4 (build 22795) - 64-bit for folders containing about 500 .docx file the Helper script DOC_to_TXT.vbs is used in the rule and it seems that the winword.exe application doesn't get closed properly. I end up with hundreds of winword.exe processes, which ends up taking up all my ram (16Gb) and page file (System managed, I've seen it go up to 40 Gb+) and they end up crashing the whole computer. It takes about 80 Mb per process...
The rules came from the "Additional File Formats for BC4" section of the site :
Microsoft Word documents extended
8-Jan-2013
*.doc, *.docm, *.docx, *.dot, *.dotm, *.dotx
Is this an issue you're aware of, is there any possible fix or workaround?
It looks as if the winword application doesn't get closed until all files have been compared, if I try to close BC4 and abort the comparison the winword application will stay hung and will not close at all, I end up having to kill them manually (taskkill /f /im winword.exe)
I'm using word 2016 (16.0.4654.1000) 32-bit
I've also noticed the same issue with xls files, except that we have less xls files to compare so the impact is less severe.
Thank you
