When -i/--hide-info-box is set the info-box still displays for a split second when scrolling through multiple images. #32
Comments
This is intentional: pqiv preloads the next and previous images into memory to allow you to switch between images quickly. If for some reason an image hasn't fully loaded yet when a user requests to switch to it, the info box is used to inform him that the "(Image is still loading)". As soon as loading is completed, the image is displayed and the info box is removed again. Typical reasons for delayed loading include very large images, slow disk/network I/O, high processor load, but of course also mashing the spacebar ;-) If you want, I can add a command line option to deactivate this behaviour!? |
You are right it says: (Image is still loading). However it displays it only for like 0.05 seconds making it kinda useless. I think a command line option to disable it would be very nice! |
Maybe it suffices to delay the message for half a second (see 5b13d5b / the delay-info branch)?! |
I just tried the branch and it is much much better in my opinion. |
Great; merged to master. |
When running on something like a raspberry pi, the delay of 0.5 seconds is often still not enough. Would it be possible to add an option to force the info box off in that case? Many thanks! |
Would an even larger delay suffice, or do you really need to have no info box whatsoever? |
No info box whatsoever would be ideal, but if not a larger delay would likely work. Trouble is it just depends on the size of the image file. |
This has been requested by multiple users; if this commit breaks some users' workflow, I'll have to add an option for this. For now, fixes issue #32.
Here's the simple solution: |
Perfect - many thanks |
See title, the info-box still flickers when scrolling fast through multiple images. I am using the newest release.
