Hi, thanks for the quick update. Tried with v24.30.0114, and same behavior:    — On first run, function works    — On subsequent runs: “not a valid script command”    — If another script is loaded, it “resets” and works again once • Simple script to replicate: "Function Test" fun(); functi...

Sorry I missed this post…
The function error can be reproduced even with a very small script like the one I posted here (just as-is, no need to add content):

v24.30.0113 - 2023-04-22 11:08 % Scripting: Loading large script files over and over is now much faster. % Scripting: Processing subs over and over in huge script resources has become much faster. You said “much faster”… I think you meant “TREMENDOUSLY faster”!!! :biggrin: :appl: Thanks a lot for t...

Oh, OK for the “read from file”, and the processing time as a whole. Still, functions are nearly instantaneous, even when placed at the end of a huge script… 🤔 (example above yields the same results) Which means the whole is (presumably) processed only once… Could subs be accessed the same way as fu...

Hi everyone! ☼ @WirlyWirly & @elbitjusticiero I couldn’t check (wasn’t online), but glad the problems were only temporary! @WirlyWirly Thanks to your incentive, I narrowed down the speed issue to the way “subs” are processed by XYplorer. I had already noticed it when making optimizations for v7....

Thanks for trying guys! @Horst The extra 30ms for a 5KB file could make sense: a 200KB (like SessionManager) is 40 times that, which could lead to ~1200ms. What’s weird is that the function is ~slow too… 🤔 @PeterH Yes, the order of entries doesn’t seem to make a difference. But good to know about th...

In case I need to post the information to unregister DLLs and reverse/restore the registry.

Whenever there is a new tip posted on this, I give it a go, only to be disappointed again and again. I haven't been able to get a bigger MDBU or Hover preview or PDF's any bigger than about 30x40mm for quite some time now, which unfortunately doesn't help much. Hi Ralph, I struggled (an awful lot!)...

Thanks for helping! Indeed, it seems to depend on what the rest of the script has to process: If the rest of the file is just a comment, the speed is not so different! I found a more conclusive way to replicate (which confirms the performance of functions). • Results with a 300 kB file:  – inline ⭢ ...

@all Thanks for the feedback! :) @Ampere I just came back… So in the meantime I guess have you explored other leads. But just in case: I don’t use vscode, but if there’s already a highlight file, I guess some regex could do the work. The autocomplete for the words themselves is near the start after...

Hi’ Hard to keep up with the changes! 😉 That being said, I have a request / problem: Each “sub” in a script seems to be read from file, which leads to delays when the file is big.  ⮚ eg with SessionManager on my computer, just going to a “sub” (even empty) takes ~100ms.    To avoid duplicating code ...

Glad to know you’ve found a way!
And nice tip from klownboy.
Indeed, it’s always impressive to see what can be done with XYplorer !…

Note: I’ll be offline for a few months, but will read all the posts when I’m back.

In the meantime, enjoy & have a nice day,
