Bug ID: 396250
Summary: Thumbnail creation speed on net shared resources
Product: gwenview
Version: 18.04.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
We have a NFS mounted disk with several folder. In each folder, there are 20 to
50 jpeg files, all about 5 - 15 MiB. User told me he was angry, cause accessing
those folders from Linux with Gwenview, it takes a lot (really, I saw it) to
create the thumbnails. I though it was normal. But my surprise was when the
user demonstrates me that from Windows 10, with a NFS controller to access the
shared disk, the Windows image viewer was near 3 to 4 times faster than
Gwenview. I tried reducing showed thumbnails on grid in Gwenview, but that
doesn't changed nothing in speed. Then I tried with other simple image viewers
for Linux, as Qeequie, Shotwell, Nomacs .... in general, the were faster!!
However they was not so powerfull and usable as Gwenview.
Then I tried Xnview MP for Linux ... and I must say that there is no comparison
in speed retrieving info from images.
What's happening? Why is Gwenview so slow? Is a KIO/Plasma issue?
I wish you correct the issue, cause for real work, and only comparing to speed
on retrieving thumbnails, unfortunately I must say that today Gwenview is not
an option to consider as a image viewer on Linux.
Regards
