Loading animation for about 10 seconds after launch #12

manjukirans commented 9 years ago

I see the loading animation for about 10 seconds after I open a link using "Places-Center". This happens always when I open any folder using "Places-Center". I do not see this behaviour if I open using other applets such as 'All-in-one Places', 'Places', 'Better Places', 'Custom-Places' etc. I did not see anything specific to this in .xsession-errors. There seems to be no impact on usability but this gives a feeling that something is still loading.

Cinnamon 2.4.6 File Manager: Nemo 2.4.5 Places Center v2.1

The screenshot tool does not capture the animation pointer. So I am attaching a photograph of the desktop. img_20150310_123040

Odd... I've never seen that before...

Have you tried it with the stock menu applet? I'd be interested to see if it does it there as well since I use basically the same code. Also, can you tell me if it does it with all places, or just certain ones, and if so, which ones.

I just rechecked and I see the issue is present in the stock applet "Places". Last time, over multiple tests this showed up only with "Places Center". Since I prefer to use "Places Center", I reported it here. Maybe, I can report it at the project page for "Places".

To answer your othere question, I see this issue with every link I open. It is not specific to certain ones. I see the issue with the following links: Home, Documents, Downloads, work , SMB Share etc. The only link in which I do not see this issue is the "Computer" link. If I open any folder shortcut through Desktop links, the issue does not show up.

I was actually referring to the Cinnamon menu (the one that is included with Cinnamon by default). I'm not sure what would cause it to work normally with 'computer', but not with everything else. I'll try to check it out when I get home later today, but I don't have time to dig through the code right now.

I've had a chance to look over the code now, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. I use the same function calls (including for 'computer') that Cinnamon, all-in-one-places, and better-paces all do (probably the others as well, though I didn't bother to check those), so I'm wondering if something else might be causing it, but I have no clue what.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea what I can do to fix it. I'll leave this open, though, in case someone else has any idea, or something else comes up.
