Slow load on my best PC

Post by gordol »

I have XnView MP (currently Version 1.4.2 64bits (Jan 23 2023)) installed on three PCs, and on my newest and bestest one, XnView takes about a full minute to load and become usable, the other two it's pretty much instant. I can get the full details of the "other two" if needed, but nutshell is they are both a few years old, one is an almost 6 year old i3 based system with 16G of RAM, a spinning hard drive and Win10, cannot be updated to 11. The other other one is a 3 year old i5 based laptop with 8 or 16 G of RAM and an SSD, was Win10 is now Win11.

The one with the issue is less than 6 months old Dell Inspiron 3910, Win11, i7, 16G RAM and an SSD. Other info can be provided as needed.

It does not matter if I have XnView set to open on the last folder, a specific folder, or no folder at all.

OneDrive, Google Drive and one of the PCs hosts a couple shared drives as well.

could you try to change debug=2 in xnview.ini, you'll have a debug window. Please tell me where you have the delay in this window?

This is no longer happening with the 1.4.3 update.
