[Bug 488247] Re: Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting
Interestingly enough if run as a filter without opening its gui (like inkscape --export-eps=something.eps filename.svg) inkscape seems to be still as fast as it used to be. -- Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488247 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Then why did you mark font-related performance issue as duplicate of this one? The issue with fonts was intentionally kept separate because reports here (original report, #6, #7) mention a performance loss without relation to the number of installed fonts (0.46 - 0.47, which hints towards other issues e.g. with the GUI and the scaling of the icons as mentioned in comment #9). -- Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488247 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

…or did I fail to understand the relation? Like: 'many fonts' and 'GUI' = slow starting 'many fonts' or 'GUI' = no slowdown? -- Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488247 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 488247] Re: Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting
The only combination that is slow on my computer is many fonts (which basically means TeXlive is installed, but installing many X11 fonts instead makes it slow, as well) *and* starting up the inkscape gui at the same time. Using the inkscape as a filter (without starting up its GUI) is fast regardless of the number of fonts. And starting up the GUI without many fonts installed is rather fast on my system, as well; the overall experience in this case can be increased a little bit further by setting pre-render named icons in the misc preference tab, though. If I did mark the bug as a duplicate of the wrong report - please revert my setting of the duplicate attribute. Thanks in advance, in this case. -- Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488247 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 488247] Re: Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting
This issue has cropped up on openSUSE 11.3 as well. I was running Inkscape 0.47 on 11.2 + texlive without any problems. Since 11.3 the standard texlive package seems to include virtually thousands of fonts (1700 on my system) that are visible to inkscape. After removing texlive inkscape starts in 5 seconds. As I need both latex and inkscape in a usable state, I started deleting these fonts manually while checking that my texfiles still compiled without font errors. Quite tedious... BTW: all of the TeX fonts are also visible in the KDE font installer applet, but openoffice seems to ignore them. Maybe inkscape could be tweaked to ignore those fonts as well (via configuration options). -- Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488247 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 488247] Re: Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting
Two things slow down Inkscape while it's starting up: 1) it's building a list of fonts: using a font manager to reduce the number of fonts might help 2) it's rendering its own icons: improvements are planned For more details see this thread: http://www.listware.net/201007/inkscape-devel/79366-inkscape-devel-slow- to-start.html -- Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488247 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 488247] Re: Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting
In my case Inkscape takes a lot of time launching. I don't have too much fonts (Ubuntu's default) and my PC is normal - fast. This problem starts when I start using inkscape 0.47, version 0.46 opens very fast.
