ART vs Rawtherapee

[lphilpot (Len Philpot)]

Much faster for me in general when moving through images while in the editor (~5 seconds, maybe a tad less).

However, in the browser the sort order is a bit unexpected.

Note it’s set to filename order, but it sorts with two outliers up front:

IMG_1337.CR3
IMG_3564.CR3
IMG_0343.CR3
IMG_0607.CR3
IMG_0855.CR3

…and correctly thereafter.

Do I need to hang onto this zip or will you make an official release?

Thanks.

@lphilpot

I need to understand what is going on before a new release…

[lphilpot (Len Philpot)]

Just to rule out any weirdness in the files they sort correctly in other contexts, for example here in XnView MP:

…and so forth. 0343 is the first file as expected.

Thanks.

[lphilpot (Len Philpot)]

Uh Alberto… don’t waste your time. There’s something weird going on with my instance.

i launched the 1.16 release version and it sorted correctly except now it puts IMG_0343.CR3 (only) dead last when sorted by filename. I changed the sort order to a few others and back with the same results. But after I renamed my personal folder and relaunched, it sorts correctly. Weird…

So something is going on with my installation. I’ll have to track that down…

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

@agriggio

whether the jpeg refresh problem

Fixed for me

[priort (Todd Prior)]

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

Thx

[agriggio (Alberto)]

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

[priort (Todd Prior)]

Thank you for fixing things…

[apostel338 (HP)]

@agriggio

I’ll try building 1.15 with the current toolchain.

Is this still intended?

[agriggio (Alberto)]

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

[apostel338 (HP)]

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.

[agriggio (Alberto)]

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

[apostel338 (HP)]

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.

[agriggio (Alberto)]

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?

[apostel338 (HP)]

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

[agriggio (Alberto)]

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:

[apostel338 (HP)]

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

[agriggio (Alberto)]

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

[agriggio (Alberto)]

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