<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi Peter,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’ve been doing some tests with the snapshot Kst-2.0.x-Qt5-2012.10.17-07.54 and here are some comments :</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">When trying to load too much data without setting the file buffer limit, it does not crash and allows to try and continue in a dialog you added recently: very nice. Maybe we should mention the “Limit file buffer” option
in this dialog so that people understand/discover how to work around the issue</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">I don’t know what we do in the ascii config dialog, but it takes ages to get out of it when you’ve changed the settings and hit OK. Maybe worth a check?</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">Using threads on a single file now does bring some benefit. With a 1 GB file and 200 MB buffer I get 16.2 s (debug log) without threading and 10.5 s with threading. But the difference from the user perspective as measured
by the “wall clock” is not as large (19 s vs 14 s), which is in fact quite understandable since all the drawing is common</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">I tried to change the “use threads” setting on some (by hand-editing the .kst file) and it seems to bring a real benefit => shouldn’t we activate it by default instead of defaulting to false (which actually is more or
less what I wrote in the previous mail: why not thread in all cases?</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">I have some files which seem to open with 2.0.6 and not with this snapshot (or even crash). I’ll investigate this a bit further. Could you maybe generate a beta with Qt4 and MSVC to make sure we’re not hitting a bug there?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">To sum up: great work! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’ll do some more testing (and go into the details of indexes etc) and I hope we can settle on the UI aspects/defaults quickly to finalize this release, hoping that the problems with old files I see are linked to Qt5
/ mingw versions in the snapshot.</span></p>
