ProperTree taking minutes to launch
MasterRaccoon opened this issue · comments
I'm using Ventura in a laptop, and I'm taking at least 5min to open ProperTree, but after opened, I can use it normally.
I've tested different versions of Python3.
On my desktop, ProperTree is working properly.
Hey there - sorry for the late reply to this. How are you launching ProperTree? If you're using ProperTree.command it will walk the PATH variable looking for all python, python3, and py binaries while keeping track of the highest py2 and py3 versions - then pipe ProperTree.py to the highest detected.
If you have a botched python install - it will be checked with the -V arg (which prints its version to stdout or stderr) each time the .command is started - and that could potentially cause stalls.
If you use buildapp-select.command from within ProperTree's Scripts directory, you can build a .app bundle with a hardcoded shebang that avoids that PATH var walking which may help. The buildapp-select.command script will also show you what python installations were found - which may expose any oddities as well.
Not sure if any of that info will actually help - but it may expose if something is amiss.

I was able to have some other users test - and it seems it was stalling while checking for updates at start up. I've scheduled the update check via the event loop to avoid it blocking - and implemented a simple boolean lock system to prevent mutltiple simultaneous checks in this commit. When you get a chance, can you test and see if that fixes the issue for you?

I did some more digging and wrapped the update check with python's multiprocessing module to prevent the UI from being blocked while checking for updates in this commit. I believe this has actually fixed the source issue.
