I have been having quite a few problems with 1.6.1 - mainly in relation to the various parts of the UI not keeping in sync. There are also relatively minor issues - eg after a while Ctrl+F doesn’t put the cursor in the Find field and I realise I’m typing into the code. Or Select buttons stop responding. Working on a fairly large file, about 1000 lines of code, these issues seem to get worse and Wappler generally seems to get rather sluggish.
I think these issues are known and I’m sure they will be fixed, but it would be helpful to know if there are any temporary solutions.
One thing which certainly helps is restarting - but this not nearly as quick as it used to be, which is very noticeable if you have to do it frequently. I uninstalled completely and reinstalled 1.6.0. This helped with some issues, but I missed some of the fixes in the most recent version. I was pleased to see that the projects had not disappeared - but wondered what else had not disappeared: about 23,000 files in the Wappler User Data folder, taking up about 6GB. I renamed this folder and installed 1.6.1. Wappler now starts about 10 ten times more quickly and so far is behaving better. It may slow down again when I reinstall all of the projects, but haven’t discovered any problems having deleted the 6GB of files.
I don’t know if it would be possible to have an option to delete all of this user data, except for the projects. It seems that it just gets larger and larger. Eg there is one file - a sqlite database which seems to store cached pages - which had grown to about 350MB. I deleted this earlier when trying to speed things up - I’m not sure if it made much difference but it didn’t to any harm.
In the meantime, if anyone has any tips on Wappler performance, that would be useful - eg have others had problems with very large files?
