G4 Plugin lag when two files are open

Glyphs
1

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed that a significant lag appears in the Show Stem Thickness plugin when I open two files in G4. When only one file is open everything runs smooth. As soon as I open another file the Show Stem Thickness starts freezing. Then I have to restart G4 and while I work in only one file everything is OK again.

I can’t reproduce this. What version of Glyphs and the plugin do you have?

I’m on the latest build (4108) and the plugin is installed through the Plugin Manager, so I guess it’s the latest version? I also have Show Angled Handles, Show Kinks and KernOn installed.

Can you try to remove all other plugins and see if that changes things?

OK, after removing all three plugins and re-installing and testing them one by one, the lag problem seems to be gone.

So you have installed the same plugins now and it is better now? Maybe one of the plugins was updated and you didn’t have the update, yet?

Yes.

They were originally all installed via the Plugin Manager — that should keep them always updated? And the lag was present since I installed G4 like a month ago.

Today I noticed that the Show Stem Thickness disappeared after I “woke up” the computer to continue working, so I had to restart the app to get it running ok again.
