Hi, It sounds like Gwenview is taking a lot of CPU to process the image the image to fit the window. Some CPU usage here is unavoidable, and while that processing is occurring, the rest of the GUI is going to be (unavoidably) slowed and less responsive. What setting do you have for "Settings --> Configure Gwenview --> Image View, Smoothing? Try changing it to Fast or None. The Best setting, for instance, is very high quality, but does indeed take an _enormous_ amount of CPU time and power. So let me know if lowering that setting improves the situation. Thanks, Christopher Martin
