f.y.i.

in build 3, it still takes about 80 seconds for me to open the scroll thumb dialog box

Every time? Or just the first time?

[mhwlng]

I tried it several times (just double click in the tree)

and the delay happens every time...

Okay, I'll try to reproduce it.

... Hmm, it comes up almost immediately here - which rather points to an issue with data.

Although, having said that I should probably try it with the released build rather than from within Visual Studio, who knows, something may have happened in the build process.

Is 30 seconds an improvement though? I seem to remember that it was taking > 1 minute previously.

ummm, I wrote 80, not 30

so about the same as the previous version. (or any older NRD version as well)

Ah, sorry - I misread it.

I have spotted one thing that could slow things down if there are a lot of variables - it adds the variables to the combo box one at a time, but wasn't wrapping it in a BeginUpdate()/EndUpdate() pair - I've changed that now, so it may improve things a bit, especially with very large numbers of variables.

I'll keep an eye out for similar sorts of things.

[Rob H]

I was almost right - I created about 10,000 NR variables and sure enough the time taken to load the variable list went up to about 69 seconds, wrapping the loop in a BeginUpdate/EndUpdate pair only reduce the load time by a few seconds.

However, using the AddRange method rather than a loop with the Add method reduced it to a under a second

I'm hoping Ron will be able to upload a new build sometime this weekend, or Monday failing that.

Build 2.0.0.4

• Improved speed of loading plugin action forms that use variables - now wraps the loop that adds items to comboboxes and listboxes in calls to BeginUpdate/EndUpdate
• Image picker now has a null image to allow the user to clear the image for an element.
• The menu for loading a skin under Look and feel wasn't showing a checkmark for the current skin.

That fixed my speed problem ...

Thanks,
Marcel

Terrific, that one was driving me nuts trying to work out what was up.
