Viewing post in Several issues with 1.15a

Charlie,

Here are my testing results. I overlayed the 1.15a DLL files with the 1.14a DLL files. It ran much better but still not quite as fast as 1.14a by itself. It was close though. The slowness seemed to come and go when dealing with the toolpath screen. When not on the toolpath screen the hybrid install seems to run very well. Also when I turned off the toolpath view (the eye icon). Things sped up.

One other item, after a few times of turning the toolpath viewing on/off, the eye icon would turn green but the toolpaths would not go away. No matter how many times I clicked it or how long I waited between clicks, the toolpaths would persist.

Overall, I'd say that the hybrid install ran within 85% of the 1.14a install.

Here is my log for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks Donnie. I made a new build that uses some different compiling options and a sort of in-between version of SDL that still has SVG loading capability as a sort of last resort before I pull out the big guns. I was hoping you could check it out, it's labeled v1.16a on the downloads section. I'm still not entirely sure what's going on here, other than it sounds like something is severely slowing everything down and not giving very much CPU to the main PixelCNC thread that's running, which is very strange.

Was the toolpath that slowed down rendering very complex? Or was it pretty simple? Did toolpaths of equal complexity cause a slowdown in previous versions? The toolpath visibility button sticking is also extremely strange, as it's constantly refreshing the cursor position (from SDL, so maybe that's the culprit) and doing a simple check to see whether or not the cursor is over each rectangle for each button/editbox/checkbox/menu item on the screen, where it hilights green if it is and otherwise defaults. That information isn't even stored in memory, it's re-generated each frame, so I'm at a bit of a loss other than it being SDL, which could be remedied by completely removing it from PixelCNC entirely and just going with the raw method. I haven't seen problems like this with SDL in the past, but that was also before SDL was as big and complex as it is now, so maybe the devs have become somewhat overburdened with keeping compatibility and reliability up to snuff.

Another thing I'm looking at right now is some better debugging systems I can build into PixelCNC to make it easier to track down and determine issues on end-users' machines without requiring them to get their hands dirty, we'll see what comes of that. Anyway, let me know how v1.16a works out when you get a chance, and thanks for taking the time helping me to figure these issues out.

Charlie,

I downloaded and ran 1.16a. It works like a charm. No errors, no slowdown, no problems with the toolpath visibility button. I clicked it on and off many times. 1.16a ran as fast or better than 1.14a.

Thanks,

Donnie

Fantastic, what a relief! I'm going to post a tutorial in the morning, I have some tutorial ideas sketched out for mostly just demonstrating the basics of using individual operations and then also a few things that employ a few operations used in combination. I'm all ears to suggestions if you are curious how to go about doing anything in particular.
