program seems slow
« on: March 25, 2017, 07:22:54 PM »
This may not be a xLights problem but my computer which I use for my show is running slow. When I save my sequence it takes seems a long time. I running ver 2017.6 Feb. 27 2017, on a Windows 10, 64 bit system. I also have a lot of debug files,which I cannot figure how to get them to you. I have looked in the forums and I cannot seem to see it or I'm not understand the info. Hope you will help me with the debug issues.  Thanks Charlie J.

Do a render and then package up your logs using the tools menu and send them to us.

I ran some benchmarking software on my PC the other day. Bad news. While it had no problems, it only in the 37th percentile of systems. It may be time for an upgrade.

When the crash occurred I was in sequences and the effects was very slow in starting up. The saves was also slow. I hope I got this correct I did a crash report and will attach it to this reply. I hope this will ID the problem. I did reload xLights in case something happened with the software. Thanks  Charlie J.

I dont see the slowness but I do see the crash ... without being able to reproduce it i am going to be challenged to fix it. I will add some extra checks in the code which will log some possible causes ... when .7 is released pls download it and try it again.
