A suggestion for smoother 10.1 to pre Eden transition:

Map ActivateWindow(VideoFiles) to Files node in Library with fallback to Library root if former isn't available.

My skins:

Quartz
Amber

GranCanaria Wrote:I had to revert back to 10.1 because of the extreme lag I was experiencing.
Win7 HP with I7350 and Nvidia 9600 GT connected to 2 2TB nearly filled HHDs

When opening the Simpson folder (22 folder/seasons with 22 episodes) in file mode or favorites it takes 10 seconds compared to 1 second (10.1)
Also leaving the folder again takes much more time as before.

On my pc the new nightlies are extremely slow.
last installed from April 7 build

I also have not figured out if there is anywhere a changelog to the nighlies

I can confirm that library lookups can slow down listings lot making it quite uncomfortable to browse them (in some specific cases I would even call it unusable)

I also have a problem which I suspect to implementation of Files in Library, I have a share with thousands of videos (original topic), which has no content set but entering it has a noticable lag too. I've found when entering same share through Settings - File Manager there is no slow down.

Few questions for developers:
Would it be possible to...
1) bring listing of shares (with no content set) to same speed as in File Manager?
2) speed up library look ups
3) disable library lookups completely or at least for specific library shares (eg. with advancedsettings)

I think this would help a lot. Thank you.

ok, just tested 10.1 and folder listing works as expected... < 1s
Code:
11:12:25 T:4208 M:1972482048   DEBUG: SDLKeyboard: scancode: 28, sym: 13, unicode: 13, modifier: 0
11:12:25 T:4208 M:1972482048   DEBUG: CApplication::OnKey: 61453 pressed, action is Select
11:12:25 T:4208 M:1972432896   DEBUG: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory (J:\TRAILERS\HD\)
11:12:25 T:4208 M:1972432896   DEBUG:   ParentPath = []
11:12:25 T:4128 M:1964605440   DEBUG: thread start, auto delete: 0

in pre 11.0 it takes 7-8 secs before the content is listed
Code:
11:15:03 T:4804 M:1928826880   DEBUG: SDLKeyboard: scancode: 28, sym: 13, unicode: 13, modifier: 0
11:15:03 T:4804 M:1928826880   DEBUG: CApplication::OnKey: return (f00d) pressed, action is Select
11:15:03 T:4804 M:1928556544   DEBUG: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory (J:\TRAILERS\HD\)
11:15:03 T:4804 M:1928556544   DEBUG:   ParentPath = [sources://video/]
11:15:10 T:4368 M:1926844416   DEBUG: Thread Background Loader start, auto delete: 0

this source(path) has no content set, I believe this kind of delay is unacceptable. Sad

buges: The part of log I've provided in post above is from Windows version, I have same problem also on linux, so it's definitely platform wide. Sad
