Documents not showing after import on workspace after extended use.

[opensourcefan]

After performing multiple gcode generations with multiple files eventually a new document stops showing in the workspace.

Restarting fixes the issue. Sometimes but not always "reset"ing the workspace helps but a restart is more reliable. Occurs with SVG and PNG, haven't tried anything else.

Sometimes if I hit generate the gcode moves will show even though no image was previously displayed. Toggling "show document" has no effect.

There is a lot of rework to the frontend being done by easytarget. Can you try to toggle the 'display cache performance' in the LaserWeb settings? What browser and version are you using?

[opensourcefan]

Using 4.0.999 and it appears that it's just opens it's own window vs a browser window. Edge is my default though.

I'll try the toggle next time I get it to happen.

Oh and I should mention that I am exporting the gcode only, not monitoring or running from LW. I don't have my or any machine connected.

@opensourcefan ; thanks for the report :-)

I'm not too surprised to hear that the app can bog down and lock up after extended use.. in fact I have seen this myself in the past, and I mentally attributed it to memory leaks, with a side order of buffers and console filling up. Some of it due to app and library issues, some of it due to browser issues and limitations.

The work-around is, I'm afraid, to restart the app. I'm hoping my code fixes some of these issues since it uses properly maintained libraries etc.. but I'm not making any promises.

I assume from reading your comments that you are running the LaserWeb executable bundle (Electron build), is this on Windows or Linux? I'd be curious to know since I want to keep track of where problems are showing up.

Appreciate the response, thank you for all the hard work. As my username suggestions I really appreciate FOSS.

Running on Windows 10, latest build.

I've got in the habit of just restarting before each project now, seems to keep things stable.
