Memory management in Tracker 22.1.0

Hello,

I am trying to analyze a project containing a group of 5000 (8-bit) tiff images and I find the program a little unstable when using the GUI. It will crash infrequently and at unpredictable events. More importantly, if I close the project it can never be reopened because tracker crashes on startup. Is this an issue with the size of the dataset (~5 GB of images)? I am using a standard windows 11 PC with 64 GB of RAM.

Would migrating from the GUI to the command line help with this issue or is this a more fundamental limitation of the program or my install?

Thank you for any help
