As a user that opens the list display such as Sources, 200 times a session… Each time the “load” it takes a full second or more. Is there a way to speed up the display of the list? This could save 200 seconds and relieve some frustration. The list might change once per session, however, could this…

Try adding the new Filter+ gramplet (an Isotammi addon) allows empirically measuring the refresh of the view. Each time you click “Find” (even if there are no filtering parameters set) measures how long the view takes to find the data. It would be interesting to discover if there is a lag due to t…

Thanks for the suggestions. I’m on a Win10 box running 5.1.6 I tried the Filter+ on the Source list (628 entries) and got a response time of 1.05s (no parm), if add a parm it is 1.13s. I have 17,051 Citations I use the clipboard mostly for the Place names when entering data which I limit to about…

When I do this, in Linux Mint, on a machine with 16 GB RAM, on which I also run Windows 10 inside VirtualBox, that I allow to use 8 GB, and 4 cores, I see no delay in any view, in any instance of Gramps, meaning that one runs in Linux Mint, and the other in Windows 10, so it does not look like a gen…

Weird. I just moved to my laptop, Windows 10 pro, i5 mobile running at 2.6 GHz, 2 real cores, 4 virtual ones, 8 GB RAM, and a real metal in my HDD, and imported my own tree 3 times to get similar numbers as you have, with 46,000 persons, and 17,000 citations. And once all views are loaded, switchin…

Let me clarify. If I use the side menu to select any of the items, the list is displayed immediately. The issue is within a Person record while adding a Source to an event. @ennoborg you and I worked on a similar issue with my Place data. It was fixed when we reconfigured the data layout. Using t…

OK, now I finally understand what you mean. I understood lists as the ones that I select with the side menu, but what you actually mean is a selector. And that is most likely loaded in its own memory, even if the data are already available in one of the views. That big database is a Karel de Grote …
