SlickEdit® / Re: SE 27.0.2 very slow to list project files and open buffers

Both of you have remote source files.  What sort of remote file system?  Windows/SMB, NFS, some form of cloud storage?

SlickEdit User Macros / Re: Trivial Question

Hmmm...

This won't compile...
    old_search_string = word;

Is it possible this is a function call? (makes sense to not use a global...)

Or, is there a list of all the globals used by the internals of the editor?

Thanks

"Show relative paths" enable/disable doesn't make any difference for me.

File Options->Open->Maximum number of files to list = 1000 causes freezes around 3-7 seconds for me, so it's not an option. Value=50 is the limit for my nervous system

Previous version of editor filters the files instantly without any latency while I'm typing at "Filter" field (with Maximum number of files to list = 5000 setting and 70K files)

Adding this for the first hot fix for 27.0.2.

After you get the hot fix, you can use this code to turn all of the new options off.

Code: [Select]

def_highlight_symbols_tooltips=false;
def_highlight_symbols_tooltips=false;
def_references_options |= VSREF_NO_TOOLTIPS;

Try this:  Right click in the Files tool window (Workspaces tab), and change the setting for "Show relative paths".  Maybe calculating relative paths (or calculating absolute paths, depending on your current setting) is dragging down performance for you.

Is there an amount in between that works better?  File Options->Open->Maximum number of files to list = 1000 would insert 20% of the data but still put in far more of the files.

I also see this issue after upgrading to v27.0.2.0 (v26 still works fine with the same project files!)
I get constant freezes of SlickEdit when loading workspace and after that each time I do something with 'Files Tool Window' (e.g. filter files there). The slowness is huge for my ~70K files project - for example loading project might take 1-2min. Every time I type character at 'Files Tool Window' I have freezes of 10-20 seconds per character (while editor filters the list of files)

Few more inputs I have:
1. I'm using Mac ARM version on M1
2. Source files are remote, project files (vpw,vpj,vtg,vpwhistu) are local. NOT using Wildcard (adding 70K files as a list when creating project)
3. Issue DOES NOT happen when using local source files added with wildcard (.wildcardcache)
4. 'Files Tool Window' is docked and I'm using 'Workspace' tab where I filter files that I'm looking for

Just found a workaround that allows me to continue my work: File Options->Open->Maximum number of files to list = 20 (default is 5000).
This truncates the list of files at 'Files Tool Window' to 20 and make this window responsive. But it limits the list of files I see which is a significant limitation for my work.

SlickEdit® / Re: What is jaws_setup.exe and why does it keep trying to run

I don't recall a prompt during setup. Windows 11 security is flagging the setup which I guess tries to run several times a day. I just deleted it since I don't need it.
