Crashes and freezing when loading large cbz files #386

Open MrBeeMovie opened 11 months ago

MrBeeMovie commented 11 months ago

I have a fairly large cbz file (2 GB) I am trying to load with bookworm, it's an omnibus. I can eventually open the file but it takes a couple of minutes and then when relaunching bookworm the program constantly freezes and crashes. I have caching enabled and the problem still persists. Any ideas? Thank you for your help!

Thanks for raising this issue - caching persists the data after bookwork converts the cbz file into html pages. So it will not have to do the unzipping and conversion to HTML process when the book is opened again. If it is crashing on the load of the CBZ file then maybe its a memory issue when opening the CBZ. Any chance you can try this on a machine with more memory or with all apps closed. Also it would help if you can upload the CBZ to somewhere on the internet and give me the link. I dont think GitHub will allow you to attach 2 GB files to issues, but you can give it a try)
