Build STR# 10135, 18/19 Folders

Hey All, Windows 10 - 4D v17r4 I just noticed that the build of an engined version of my app creates two folders (as it should) named: STR# 10135, 18 -> Appname.4dbase -> includes the .4DC/.4DIndy files STR# 10135, 19 -> Appname -> includes executable Is this related to the application build X

Re: Windows app 3-4 times slower

Hi Tom, I do have Parallels but it’s currently running windows 7 I think. I think it would be a good idea to get windows 10 and install it with Parallels and see how that works out. Like you say it would be a better comparison then. OTOH, now that I realize I have a slow laptop, it gives me a g

Dropbox Upload and Dropbox Download Methods

A few weeks ago I posted a message asking if anyone had written code to upload and download files to Dropbox. Got no responses other than “the API looks like it is easy to do”. Today I spent time writing a couple of methods to allow uploading and downloading files from Dropbox with native 4D c

Re: Windows app 3-4 times slower

Hi John, I don’t know whether anyone has already mentioned this, but you might consider installing Windows on your MacBook Pro. That would make it easier to compare apples to apples (ha! I made a joke!). Anyhow, you can use Apple’s Bootcamp to install and run Windows on your MacBook or you ca

Re: Windows app 3-4 times slower

Hey Chip, Thanks for the info. Very helpful. I tend to bury my head in the sand when it comes to hardware. But now I need to pull it back out so my perspective is correct. Appreciate, John… > On Mar 8, 2019, at 2:49 PM, Chip Scheide <4d_o...@pghrepository.org> wrote: > > in speed order > i

Re: Windows app 3-4 times slower

Hi John, One more thing… That MacBook Pro has an SSD in it (Apple has not put spinny hard-drives in their laptops since 2012.) If your Windows machine does not have an SSD, that would make a HUGE difference. Regards, Ken > On Mar 8, 2019, at 1:50 PM, John J Foster via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4

Re: Windows app 3-4 times slower

in speed order i3, i5, i7, i9 mobile versions are slower then desktop versions of the same processor (not all 'i' processors have mobile versions). here are 2 sites to look at: Toms hardware - simple processor comparisons https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html Intel's own

Re: Windows app 3-4 times slower

Hi Ken, Yea I’m beginning to see that the windows laptop is a lot slower then the MacBook Pro. So maybe I do need a newer laptop just for testing purposes. Then I can see how fast it will be across a range of processors. I want to know what the potential user base will experience so I can fram

Re: Windows app 3-4 times slower

Hey Chuck, Yea I know the drive is slower on the PC as it’s not an SSD. I misspoke to Randy when I said I had purchased it 6 months ago. That’s not so. This was purchased from Costco in 2017 I think. (There is another that my girl-friend is using purchase 6 months ago). Anyway, it appears that

Re: Windows app 3-4 times slower

Hi Randy, > Processor: i3 vs i7 Is it really that much slower? If so then I got duped as I thought I was getting a reasonably faster Laptop 6 months ago. Thanks, John… ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: htt

Re: Windows app 3-4 times slower

Hi John, The i3 only has two physical processing cores, each of which may operate with two logical processors. Logical processors running on one physical core are no where as speedy as two physically independent cores. Also 8-GB of RAM vs. 16-GB of RAM certainly will affect throughput. Regards

Windows app 3-4 times slower

Hi All, This App is running under both Mac/Windows 4D v17R4... You might recall, a week ago or so, that I was soliciting help with creating an engined based 4D App. I figured that part out (although certification later). What I am finding baffling is how much slower the engine runs on windows v
