Hi, I'm having issues with slow thumbnail loading / blender freezing / not all thumbnails showing (Blender 3.4.0, Windows 10, 32GB RAM, 8GB Nvidia RTX 4000). This only seems to affect the polyhaven library, not others I've got. I tried changing the webp thumbnails to png but there was no change in behaviour. I also tried again reducing the 256 size thumbnail download to 128, but that also doesn't change the behaviour. It seems that whenever I click on any of the polyhaven folders, even low down in the structure, there is typically like a 5-20+ second delay during which time there is nothing apparently happening with blender (3.4.0), but if I try clicking on the blender window it says not responding (in Windows 10). Sometimes it comes up with not responding on its own after a while. The delay doesn't seem to change if I click on lower or higher level folders, ie it doesn't seem to change with the quantity of thumbnails being displayed in that folder (is the code doing something that processes all files before it displays the subset?). I've also noticed that not all thumbnails are showing when I browse 'All' but if I look in lower folders those missing thumbnails are shown properly, and when I go back out to 'All' those are now shown, but others are now missing that were showing previously. One other suspect behaviour - when I try to delete all of the files from the polyhaven assets folder (after running blender, but with blender closed) it causes the file deletion process window to get stuck with just the blender_assets.cats.txt file remaining. I have to kill and restart the Explorer task to get past that. Not sure if this is related, but potentially? For reference if anyone else wants to try to see if this helps (in Windows 10), the following instructions are expanded from Greg's post above:
If this doesn't solve the issue, you can revert back to the original settings by following all steps again, but at step 3 replace your modified file with the original one. |
Thanks for the feedback - now we can be sure it's a general issue with the asset browser and not related to the WEBP format type. Could you please add your feedback to the Blender bug report to help the devs narrow it down?
I experience this too! I also figured it was something odd with my setup (explorer hanging on me for various reasons is quite common, outside of Blender related stuff), but maybe this is a related bug in Blender as well? |
Hi Greg, I've added my feedback to the bug report. Hopefully this will help sort it. |
Just an update, Campbell has committed a fix to Blender a few minutes ago that may address this issue. Let's wait a bit for the build bot to make a build that includes the change and then we can try it out. |
Just tried the overnight builds:
Not sure if these have had that fix applied (pretty sure the 3.5 Alpha doesn't from it's build date). Pete. |
i tried at latest 3.5 build 29-jan-2023 and the thumbnails seem to be loading much faster , and the lag on second time refresh is gone + blender does not become super laggy while the thumbnails load 2023-01-29.18-09-42.mp4 |
I haven't heard any further reports of this being an issue, so I'm assuming the problem was solved :) |
I'm creating this thread to gather feedback from users who experience slowly loading thumbnails in Blender's asset browser.
I'm unable to reproduce this issue. Here's a screen recording of how it looks like for me using a low-end Sata SSD from a freshly downloaded library and after restarting Blender:
