Message "Slackfish is not responding" every time when open channel

[Karry]

There is some long blocking method in UI thread... Do you need help with identify what method it is or it is enough for you?

[markussammallahti]

Does this happen every time or randomly? Does this happen with every channel?

[Karry]

It happen every time, with every channel in our team... It tooks around 12 seconds to open channel...

[markussammallahti]

Channel open loads 100 of the latest messages in the channel. It might be that initial 100 takes too long on the UI. I'll see how the initial messages could be loaded in small batches.

[Karry]

It may be the problem. ...or you can just add QTime around critical methods and print elapsed time to stdout... I will send logs then.

Latest 1.4 release has performance fixes regarding channel message loading. Can you try with the newest version to see if the fixes solve this issue?

Good to know and those logs are great help. The app is doing cpu heavy operations for the loaded messages and thinks it's stuck.

I can decrease the loaded message count and implement load more function which should resolve this.

Newest version 1.4.1 has performance improvements for channel message loading and pagination.

Can you check if the newest version fixes this issue?

[Karry]

Hi. It is much better with latest release. Loading messages still blocks UI for few seconds (~3s), but it is tolerable and I don't see "not responding" system overlay anymore. I am closing this issue.

Thank you!
