Bug ID: 414111
Summary: Krita startup takes very long depending on size of
files in recent files list
Product: krita
Version: 4.2.7.1
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Usability
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: stronghear...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When there are large image files in the recent files list, the program takes a
long time to start ( meanwhile the splash screen shows the status "Loading Main
Window...").
For example, on my PC, with 3 tiff-files of ~700MB each in the recent files
list, the startup took 3 minutes, with cleared recent files list it took 10
seconds.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Sequentially open and close some (1-3) large image files ( e.g. some .tif -
files with several 100 MB size ), so that the recent file list is filled.
2. Quit Krita and start again.
3. Clear recent files list, quit and start Krita again.
OBSERVED RESULT
Startup time at step 2. is significantly higher than at step 3.
EXPECTED RESULT
The list of recent files should not significantly increase the program startup
time.
With older Krita Versions (e.g. 4.1.7) startup is faster ( also it does not
display thumbnails in the recent files list ).
