mac lag

Post by formxshape »

I'm getting a lag when drawing/moving points.

Happens regardless to whether I have GPU acceleration on/off.
Happens what feels like every 30 seconds or so.
As if Moho has halted any screen drawing code while it computes/read/writes something.
i had thought maybe it was clearing and rewriting gnu memory, but turning off the gnu acceleration didn't fix anything.

I'm on Moho 12.2

mac osx 10.10.5

3.5ghz iMac, GTX 780m gpu

latest Nvidia installed.

Try disabling auto-save.

Thanks,

That fixed it. Just got to remember to press save every 5mins...

Just curious but does that effect only Macs? I've seen other users mention this issue before but I've never experienced it myself.

Regardless, it would be nice to see this feature get some more work in the future, like allowing the user to choose the save directory, setting time intervals, option to use incremental saves, etc.

My old auto-save script still works, and you can set how often it saves or save manually, over how many incremented files you choose. It uses the current file's directory, but if there's much interest, I can see what other directory options people might need.
