Speeding up large project load
« on: November 23, 2006, 06:07:45 pm »
EA seems to load everything in your model (ie. project browser) when you open a project.  The "max hierarchy depth view" and "open hierarchy view to" settings in Tools -> options don't seem to make a difference.

Can Sparx optimise the loading of EA so it either obeys the above settings, or can be configured via a toggle to load the project tree on demand (suggest down to 2 levels would suffice) vs load all (default = current behaviour).

With 8000+ objects - it's now getting a bit painful to open.

Cheers,
David.

Just so you know, those options aren't for the Project Browser (View | Project Browser) they're for the Hierarchy Window (View | Hierarchy).

Ah - thanks Simon.  That makes sense now.

Are there any performance tuning improvements in the pipeline? (ie. slow diagram open with many elements, slow project load)?

Thanks,
David.
