After the recent RW update. Everything is lagging badly in RW like adding stacks or editing stack setting in the editor etc.
I am getting spinning beach ball after each edit or changes I make. it’s very annoying making an edit then wait 5 second for the spinning ball to stop then make next edit and again other 5 seconds then on so.
It happens in all projects even a small 1 page projects.
I already rebooted and restarted everything … here the spec of my iMac Desktop
I noticed that the spinning beach ball is never recorded and it still stay as a mouse cursor but I assure you if you see the mouse cursor not moving then it’s doing a spinning beach ball.
The longer I leave RW open the more often beach ball spinning will occured so to see it really bad, I would have to leave RW open for at least a couple of hours working on it before it get real bad. I work 8 hours a day doing nothing but web development for several different departments in the organization.
The only stacks I use are F6 and TCMS.
You carefully check the video at around 1:30, you will notice I am trying to open up Header stack to get into the edit box and there is a pause opening.
This would happen to every stack that opens to be edit after a few hours of RWeaving so I would kill RW and restart it. It will help but I still get spinning beach ball here and there then an hour later the ball would occur more often.
@TechBill we recreated your laggy issue in 8.6.1 also, so I’m not sure RW 8.6.2 is at fault here. I do notice you have partials inside partials, and this is not recommend by YourHead as far as I know. Perhaps @Isaiah can help us out, or has seen this issue before?
Did you perhaps make some changes that coincided with the update? perhaps your recent changes started causing the issue?
I went back several version and the bad lags are still there.
I took out the partial from another partial and it still have the lag with only a single partial. I unpack every partial and the lag is still there but bearable.
I tried to think what changed on both my iMac and Macbook Pro then I remembered one thing that changed The OS update …
Catalina was recently updated so maybe that is the reason for the bad lag? I think it was around that time when the lag started maybe.
I can’t find anything else causing the lag and only way to have bearable lag is to have no partials in your project file.
I found previous version but it was confusing to me at first because the latest version show January 2019 so I think it was a typo and he meant it to be 2020 not 2019
I doubt it the Stack because this lagging happening around last 2 weeks now and only thing I can think of was there was a RW update and the Catalina OS update so it had to be either one.
Or there something in my RW project that I did causing the bad lag. I am taking my work home and going to start a new project and transfer it over from current project to new project one by one to see if I can narrow it down hopefully.
Nope. You can put partials inside of partials inside of partials as much as you like. I highly recommend it and do it all the time myself.
But I’m happy to take a look. Can you send me a copy of your RW project and addons folder. @TechBill – I think you have my personal email, you can just send me the stuff there – but please do include all your addons stuff – just to make sure I can open the project and see the details. Sending Your RapidWeaver Project
