ART vs Rawtherapee

Here’s a new candidate, again for windows. Can you test whether the jpeg refresh problem is still there? Thanks!

Fixed for me :+1:

Works like a charm now… what was the issue… simple I hope… nice work tracking it down in any event…

Thx

Thanks for the tests. I’ll make a new version then

Thank you for fixing things…

Is this still intended?

I did try, I didn’t see anything obvious, sorry…

Ok. I thought it was interesting If there would be a difference on my side, since you couldn’t reproduce the slow browser with 1.16.X.

That makes sense indeed. I’ll see if I can upload a binary

I’ve just found out, that gaaned’s latest dev build (1.16.3-3-g6dc6f21bf) doesn’t suffer from this issue, while his 1.16.3 stable had it too.

gaaned release:

gaaned dev:

.

6dc6f21 reverted thumbnail.cc change due to glitch in the file browser (issue #267)
fc16d60 trying to improve the (perceived) responsiveness of the file browser

Maybe there is some hot stuff in these ones.

Hmmm… I don’t see anything “suspicious” changed since 1.16.3. (Or actually, I did change one thing but then I reverted it because it was causing regressions…). Are you sure the toolchain has not changed in the meantime?

I don’t build myself, I have no clue about that. @gaaned92 may tell us.

I’ve built the current master with my local toolchain. If somebody is willing to test it, it would be quite helpful. Just unpack and run:

I’m afraid I can’t report anything outstandingly good.

Thanks. Considering this is essentially the same as @gaaned92’s version, I suspect the slowness is due to some different library or compiler version… I’ll see if I can upgrade msys

Let’s try again – I’ve updated my msys2 installation. Here’s a new build to test:

Best update ever. Look at this:

Thanks a lot for hanging on. This laggy browser was really uncomfortable.

Good that we sorted this out. I’m going to release a new version soon

Thank You — Yes, backward compatibility is hugely important.

That, and the ability to not mess with my meticulously created/embedded metadata and it be right there, embedded within any produce of whatever program I may be using.

Reading through this has piqued my interest in giving ART a try.

A couple questions:

Is the Windows exe an installer that I can just double-click and an install wizard thingie appear ? as in simple for us not so quick people ?

On the downloads page, I see Win64 exe files with .asc ; what means “asc” ?

Are the listed downloads “stable” ?

Thanks for your patience with my lack of knowledge.
