I've been using 2.6.18 on Windows 10 for some weeks with no problems until recently.
Now, startup gets very slow as Gnucash renders the first report that was displayed in the last session. It takes about 30 seconds to render that first report. Then the other reports render quickly, as expected. When I close all the reports and then close Gnucash, restart happens quickly as expected. Then when I try to run any report, there is again about a 30 second delay to render that first report, no matter what it is. After that, other reports are rendered quickly. I have created a new Gnucash file, with the basic accounts, and no data, and get the same delay when rendering any of the standard reports the first time. I have removed and reinstalled Gnucash 2.6.18, to no avail. When I look at the Windows task manager, nothing seems to be eating CPU cycles or doing anything to slow down the system. I also have the latest Mac version of Gnucash running on a MacBook Pro, and it does not have this problem on the same data file and reports. Seeing this long delay after seeing none earlier has made me worry about some problem in the installation on Windows. I have tried clearing out all the Gnucash support files, such as I can find and reinstalling. None of this helps. Is this long delay on Windows for the first report rendering expected behavior now? If anyone has some ideas I would be grateful. In the meantime, I have gone back to 2.4.15 on Windows, and it works without any of the delays, but I would prefer to use the newer release if possible. I tried the development release, and it would not even run on my system. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions. I did report a bug on this, SG _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
