Re: [Framers] Images make scrolling through a Frame document problematic
FM considers the default printer when it formats documents for on-screen display. Perhaps selecting a less-demanding printer will speed up the display. Also, try navigating to the document's last page, using the scroll bar, find, or go to page command, then, going back to the beginning. HTH.

Re: [Framers] Images make scrolling through a Frame document problematic
I also seem to recall a setting that affected whether a document loaded all graphics in a file up front, or as you scroll to them. The first method, loads the .fm file more slowly, but, once loaded, the graphics appeared quickly when scrolling. The alternate setting makes the .fm file load fast because it didn't load graphics unless they actually scroll onto the screen. Unfortunately, I can't remember what that setting was, nor could I find it. Maybe it will give a hint that allows someone else to chime in.

When I scroll through the document, Frame momentarily freezes when an image scrolls into view. After a few of these pauses, if I keep scrolling, the entire screen will black out and freeze for 2-5 seconds or so. Then the screen will display again and my image will be there as expected. I assume all of this is a memory issue, with buffers filling up and having to be empties, or somesuch. My workstation has 16GB of memory, so I'd have thought I wouldn't see memory problems. I'm running Windows 10 Pro on a Dell OptiPlex 3050, i5-7500 @ 3.4 GHz, 64 bit. Is there some setting I can tweak to optimize performance?

Re: [Framers] Images make scrolling through a Frame document problematic
You're not saying whether the graphics are copied into the FM file or imported by reference. Makes a big difference. For example, if they are imported by reference, your virus protection may be trying to screen each one as it scrolls into view. Assuming all the files are local which is the recommended Best Practice. If they're on the network, that's certainly part of the throughput problem. Your RAM, although adequate, isn't at all high, especially for graphics intensive FM files. I'd go higher if at all possible. Coupled with that are that there aren't lots of other applications running... especially memory hogs such as Photoshop and Chrome running site that are refreshing. All that said, I'd look at your virus protection first, and maybe try turning it off as a test. But more RAM would certainly help. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...
