On some (windows) computers OpenLP takes longer than expected to load.
|
|
|
This page is dedicated to collecting information about those computers
|
|
|
which might help in tracking down the problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If OpenLP takes too long to load, please help us to solve this problem
|
|
|
by documenting information about your computer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Preparation
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you install the latest [nightly
|
|
|
build](https://get.openlp.org/builds/).
|
|
|
2. Make sure you have:
|
|
|
- an empty song database, no bibles installed, no images and other
|
|
|
items in the media manger, as this might affect the loading
|
|
|
time.
|
|
|
1. To ensure this, you can go to *Tools -\> Open Data
|
|
|
Folder...*
|
|
|
2. Close OpenLP
|
|
|
3. Rename the "data" folder to "data-backup" (after the test
|
|
|
you proceed in the same manner, except that you rename
|
|
|
"data-backup" to data)
|
|
|
- *Enable* the setting ["Show the splash
|
|
|
screen"](http://manual.openlp.org/configure.html?highlight=show%20the%20splash%20screen#application-startup)
|
|
|
(used to help us track how long OpenLP takes to start)
|
|
|
- *Disable* the setting ["Automatically open the last
|
|
|
service"](http://manual.openlp.org/configure.html?highlight=automatically%20open%20the%20last%20service#application-startup)
|
|
|
3. Obtain a stopwatch or some other method of timing OpenLP
|
|
|
4. Restart your computer, login and wait for all disk activity to
|
|
|
finish. This is because OpenLP often loads much more quickly the
|
|
|
second time it is started, skewing any timings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Run The Test
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you have prepared for the test, you can proceed as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Start OpenLP in the debug mode: *OpenLP (debug)* (This menu entry
|
|
|
should be appear in your windows menu) and simultaneously start your
|
|
|
stopwatch
|
|
|
2. Stop your stopwatch when the splash screen on the primary screen
|
|
|
disappears.
