App stuck on loading screen - uses Network & Disk!

[whyboris]

Just installed the current version of the app and on its first (and subsequent) run(s) it is stuck on the loading screen.

When I investigated the Task Manager I see extreme use of Network and Disk

There's no explanation why either would be used by the app. Is this the intended behavior? Is the app downloading huge payloads of references to servers?

Please make a note about this unexpected behavior in the README and if you can explain why this is going on.

Thank you 🙇

I'm aware of the huge use of network and disk, this is due to the database being downloaded locally from the server. I'm working on an alternative method for this, such as pre-buffering data into memory first, otherwise search the server directly. Still needs some long awaited thorough tests for efficiency and reliability before using in production use.

Thank you for the quick reply!

I just think that this is unexpected behavior and thus should be noted in the app description so not to worry users of the app 👌

I end up killing it after it runs for a few hours with no apparent progress. It seems to just be broken.

Thanks for the feedback @whyboris and @atkulp - I've made some huge changes for memory storing allocation and downloading application data. An update will be pushed soon.

I'm having the same issue.

Am introducing an entirely new database structure, which intends to fix this issue, hence the late update.

I can't seem to reproduce this issue, it's only takes a matter of seconds to load for me. Could you show some screenshots or provide the log.txt so I can see what's going on.
