My guess for this is this: * There is one thread in Qt doing asynchronous loading for file, http and custom-provider images * The images on the dash are asynchronous * The Qt thread doing asynchronous loading pauses processing requests if there's 8 http requests going on * If the internet is slooooow it may happen that there is 8 http requests going on and thus the file local ones are stalled until one of the http ones finishes
Qt 5.6 will have a fix for this (and so will be if we backport the QQuickAsyncImageProvider patch as planned https://codereview.qt- project.org/#/c/108540/ ) I can also provide small patches against Qt 5.3 and Qt 5.4 if we want to carry those. ** Also affects: qtdeclarative-opensource-src (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1383343 Title: Application icons take a long time to load on slow network To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtdeclarative-opensource-src/+bug/1383343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
