Regarding document concatenation - some helpful scripts are at Sourceforge here: http://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/patches/9/ It's not so specific but inside the tar are some useful scripts like combinexoj (by Henryk Fuks) which will do all that concatenation for you. I'm interested to hear the res

would it be possible for somebody to share with me a "real" test case with lots of handwriting? My typical use case is PDF annotations. I am light user of the note handwriting. --dmg On Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 2:10 PM, Shuhao Wu wrote: > I get pretty bad performance after about 14 pages of notes.

Things get slower once you load a ton of objects into the canvas -- it's bound to happen given that a page of handwritten notes typically consists of about 100,000 line segments, and if there's a PDF background then PDF rendering itself is also a CPU-intensive beast. Three comments: 1. the cod

You are referring to the gtk3+ version, right? I was in discussions with the goocanvas mailing list about it, and we pinned the reason last night (at least for slow scrolling). gnomecanvas when requested to do something first checked if it was necessary. goocanvas does not, so we have to bre more

I get pretty bad performance after about 14 pages of notes. Adding a page, loading and everything gets really slow. Can we mitigate this somehow? I noticed that .xoj files are compressed files (?), can we chain these files together so the performance doesn't degrade? Shuhao -
