SwitchDesk 0.9.9

• Fixed: with a few hundred switches, the window could stay empty after a restart once every switch had been read (#7). Measured with 284 fully read switches:

  • The window no longer waits for the saved data. It opens at once and says "Loading saved data… 120 of 284 switches" while the rest comes in.
  • Saved data loads about twice as fast. The raw command output, the bulk of each switch's file, is now read only when you open that switch's Raw output tab.
  • The dashboard and the network map are about 15 times faster to build (0.16 s instead of 2–3 s). Matching up links between switches used to compare every link with every other.
  • If the first load is ever slow, the window says "Loading the dashboard…" instead of staying empty.

  Thanks to @Y4nnickB for the report and the screenshot.
