[Tracker] slow content loading

[diver]

Tracker is slow when loading files in icon view or mini icon view. To reproduce open haiku volume from desktop and press alt+2 to switch to miniicon mode and close this window. Open it again and go to /boot/beos/bin. It will take 20 seconds to show content.

Tested with freshly downloaded rev16908 under vmware.

This manipulation also deadlock appserver. It happens to me already several times.

Correct component.

Can't reproduce anymore here, hrev23150 on VMWare Fixed?

I just rechecked it in hrev23287 following the method listed above and it still goes slow as was first reported. This was on real hardware, my test laptop a Thinkpad 570E.

Indeed, i could reproduce it consistently on real hardware and vmware, but only with a fresh image/install.

Apparently, if you already (even after a reboot) visited a directory in mini icon mode before doing the above steps, then the bug doesn't show.

Example steps: a- Start with a _fresh_ haiku image or install b- Go to boot/beos/bin c- Switch to mini icon view (no bug here) d- Close the window

From there, you can't reproduce the orignal ticket's bug. The bug appears with boot/beos/system boot/beos/apps etc.. until you visited them one time, even after a reboot.

Can you confirm this?

hope this helps, alex

Definitely! I investigated the problem a bit, and it occurs because Tracker cannot read the "pose info" attribute from the files and retries 10 times for each time - with a timeout of 10 ms between each try. I have no idea why this doesn't happen on BeOS yet (don't have a BeOS machine here right now :-().
