Really long load times

Jerud

Since the last update, Legend takes a long time to load. I’m looking at a white screen for 2-3 minutes before it pulls up. Same thing if I do a Reload.

Thrice now I have sat in front of the white screen for a while before finally trying to click, and Legend popped up at that exact moment. Could be a coincidence, but it’s as if clicking triggered it. But I also tried clicking in the white screen immediately after invoking the Reload, and that didn’t help. So I guess it’s still taking time to load, but once it is loaded it is also failing to clear the white screen? On the other hand, if I leave it long enough, it does eventually load, too.

My internet connection is not very good right now…but why isn’t it loading local versions of my docs? And no waiting screen?

Jerud Which last update is that? Is it app version 2.0.6? Or was it the latest beta update but still in the previous app 2.0.5?

I’m in 2.0.5, beta

(BTW I can’t select that build number to copy-paste)

I toggled to stable and got about 5s of whitescreen. Toggled back to beta and the same. I did recently start using Legend in fullscreen, and have noticed that even when toggle back to windowed and quit with the Windows X button, Legend relaunches in fullscreen. Not sure if that is relevant, but it does mean I’m looking at a solid white screen for however long it takes to get the UI up, and even if that can’t be helped due to my connection, it’d be good if there were at least a minimal “loading” splash there in the meanwhile.

My connection is a little better right now but not a whole lot, and I get the same 5s delay even with wifi off. Sorry but I didn’t think to test with wifi off last night when the delay was much longer : (

I don’t pay enough attention to the version numbers and am a bit confused about why the app is a dot-version ahead of the beta? Seems like things would be the other way around?

The initial load doesn’t wait for a connection at all - it loads the offline data and displays it, and then connects. So connection speed should have nothing to do with it. Is 5s the load time you were seeing before or is that longer than it was?

I will do some performance testing but please let me know if it goes back into the minutes again. That’s definitely not right!

2.0.6 is the beta version of the desktop app, which needs a manual download: https://forum.legendapp.com/d/137-beta-updates/162

It was definitely 2-3 minutes yesterday; I timed it, didn’t just guess. It seems most likely that whatever changed, did it on my end – but I’m sorry I don’t know what it could be.

I have definitely seen the load-then-update behavior you describe before. Watching the updates happen in realtime is cool…but I can’t help thinking that brief window – where I can actually make changes but the updates haven’t finished yet – might create some trouble. Maybe it’s just negligible on a decent connection.?

How on earth did I miss that beta download!!! Thanks for the link, and sorry. I’ll have to d/l it tomorrow, will have more usable signal then. I guess I have to go back and verify all my open bug reports are still valid then…🙃
