Moho file-handling?

Post by rylleman »

While working in a Moho-scene how much does Moho use the sourcefiles (images, audio and the .moho file itself)? Does it read everything into the memory or some temp-file and then work independent from those o does it acess the files all the time?
The reason I'm asking is that I'm setting up a network and got a laptop as a workstation with a stationary server with all the project files. The laptop has wireless connection at a quite low speed at 54 Mbit. I experience some lag of Moho at the laptop and I'm trying to figure out how much of it that is due to the computer and how much is due to the network.

The .moho file is read once when you open it. Images, sounds, and other external files are loaded once when needed. (The first time you play back the audio, the first time an image layer is drawn on screen, etc.) With an image layer, if you undo some operation, in some circumstances Moho will re-load the image file.

Thanks for your answer.
I think I figured it all out when I started to play with my new laptop.
