UI refreshes too often #15

Open alex285 opened 6 years ago

I guess you're aware of most UI issues, but here is one you might have missed. When you download wallpapers, those might have very long names ..as you can see on screenshot

Two more issues here is that

  1. The selection gets the full height
  2. When you remove a favorite (or when you add one), the view is refreshing all the items, while there is also a lock

  1. Tried to solve that, had no luck. This is pretty low in priority tho, will try to fix it when I can.

  2. Yeah, the UI refresh is one of the weakest points of this app. Will have to make a subclass of FlowBoxItem and do some wizardry to make it a little better. It's in the works tho.

Tried to fix the label issue, and mitigate in some way the ui refresh slowness. Still, removing the locks causes problems in most cases, so I think they'll be there for a while, until I figure out a better way to populate/update the flowboxes.

Here's a flatpak that you can test

@GabMus question: why you dont just update the flatpak repo, since you obviously fix things?

GabMus commented 6 years ago

You mean the released package? There are some things I'm still not convinced about. Want to make a bigger release.

@GabMus where the "Favorites" view has gone? i mean it is gone :)

GabMus commented 6 years ago

It goes away if you don't have any favorites. Add some and you will see it appear in the top stack switcher

Did a little visual fix, here's an updated flatpak:
