Load speed of tabset compared to a toolbar
Load speed of tabset compared to a toolbar
Hi Don, I've been doing some scripting lately using tabsets (not using SessionManager) and I've noticed there is a huge difference in how transparently and seamlessly the toolbars load compared to a tabset. I know tabsets can have different colors etc. but toolbars can have different icons. When a toolbar is loaded or changed the transition is immediate and totally seamless. A tabset on the other hand is definitely not. You can actually see each tab being painted and I have a rather fast computer with a Samsumg 980 Pro NVMe drive. Is there something different in the way a toolbar vs tabset is loaded? It seems as though the entire toolbar is painted as one unit from memory whereas the tabset is painted individually tab by tab. Could a whole tabsets be handled in memory like toolbars currently are? Thanks.

Tab icons are retrieved from the file system, probably scattered all over the place, maybe network. Where as (standard) toolbar icons are all in memory all the time.

Anyway, it should be smoother in next beta.

None of my tabsets have netowrk or URL tabs and they're all on local drives. Thanks Don, for looking into it.

Re: Load speed of tabset compared to a toolbar
Thanks Don, beta 24.00.0301 definitely helped. You must now be reading or loading all the tabs in the tabset first before painting the whole tabset. Not as fast as a toolbar load or change probably for reasons you mentioned above, but it's better than seeing individual tabs being painted to the screen.

It is very fast (immediate) here with about 12 tabs per set. Can't say why your tabs are slow.

On my most used tabset, I've got 28 tabs, all with icons and background color. 5 tabs are the new vi:<get pick...> You have definitely increased the speed - big improvement. I fixed some old folder, or renamed folders, and bad icon referrals on some pane 2 tabs and that helped. People using FluxTorpedoe's SessionManager should be happy as well.
