Processing takes a while to open files

When i open processing and then open a file Processing freezes for about 1 min. This happens every time i want to open a file with Processing. It has gotten really annoying. Does anyone know a fix? I’m using processing 4.3.1, windows 11.

well the problem is that every time i want to open a file or save a new project it takes like a minute. In the minute Processing is completely unresponsive.

Hey @ripolas you are correct that this is not meant to happen. Do you see the same issue in Processing 4.3? Anything else about your setup you could share that would help us diagnose the bug?

I’m suspecting this may be related to this issue:

sorry for no reply. Yes the issue is exactly as described in the github issue. And yes, I am stil encountering this problem. Not sure what i could say about the setup I am using windows 11, processing 4.3.2 currently. The IDE is completely unresponsive at mentioned times. I can resize the window and then the colors get all messed up so the IDE isn’t even rendering properly then. If you need any more info please contact me. I really want this to get fixed, because I imagine I am not the only one with those issues.

Hi @ripolas and thanks for the extra information.

You issue sounds similar but I’m unable to reproduce the exact behavior you are describing. On my Windows 10 machine, the issue reported on GitHub occurs when first opening Processing and then when Switching to a specific mode for the first time. However opening a sketch file doesn’t cause the issue.

Is it possible you are opening a file that triggers a mode switch? Like if you’re in Java mode and open a file written for Python mode? And does the issue continue to happen every time you open a different file or only the first time?

Hello, I cannot seem to replicate the issue anymore… If I recall correctly, that was the case. I’ll get back to you if the issue happens again.
