I vote for pre-loading previous/next image(s). No matter how fast jpeg decoding becomes, it is not as fast as *not decoding*. This was my favorite feature from GQview but somehow that project seems to have stopped.
Also there are image formats (think RAW) that are inherently slow to decode. -Bin On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 12:02 PM, Stephane Delcroix <[email protected]> wrote: > f-spot 0.6.x already loads images faster than before, but still, I > admit, it's not fast enough. > > We're currently loading and displaying as fast as libjpeg is able to > process them. > > One option would be pre-loading images, another would be a better and > faster jpeg decoding... > > Stephane > > On Mon, 2009-11-09 at 18:42 +0200, Sergiy Zuban wrote: >> I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 with hope that f-spot 0.6.x works more >> faster, but IMHO it still opens images (especially > 12Mpix) too long.
