Softimage going to sleep on Windows 8

2015-05-28 Thread Leonard Koch
Hey list,

since updating to Windows 8 I've had the issue that if I leave softimage
alone for a few minutes, it takes about 10 seconds for it to become
responsive again after tabbing/clicking back into it.

I have a fast SSD, plenty of RAM and not much else going on.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Cheers.

Did you turn off the Reload Externally Modified Clips On Focus in the 
Prefs  Rendering  Images Tab?

We're not using Windows 8 but if there are files in External Files that
can't be found I think XSI tries to refresh when alt-tabbing. I'm not sure
what the fix would be, barring fixing the path(s) - I think referenced
objects with Animation Mixer nodes may be particularly susceptible to the
problem (they seem to return a lot of \\none paths).
