Sumatra Hang over 5 minutes each time until delete SumatraPDF-settings files than clear start
i have to delete or clear each time settings files very abuse, if Sumatra can't find cached files or if that files on mapped drive etc Sumatra hang hang hand each time until to stop it delete all settings files and clear start but thats very weird. Please add some fonction to not wait so much i guess its always try find files i not try on another computer but please try to open sumatra with this settings files hope you catch hanging regards,
network access can be slow so calling \192.168.0.41 will be bound by network issues and additionally the remote archive needs constant decompressive zipped access (.cb7 & .epub) (epub is usually worst culprit as needs constant rebuilding) likewise temp folders may be temporarily missing (Temp\7zO85A8075E) so need to see if available (IsMissing = false)
for network files I would first try keeping a mapped drive so my very slow netbook other side of room is s:\ ( S:\Desktop\AVIS-DE-SOUTENANCE-ACHACHI-HIND.pdf) but no problem using big files over there as the download to this fast machine is the only delay but if any doubt over speed I would keep a permanent local copy since highlights etc do not work well across a domain
Could you possible to add no wait action because i have to wait always 3-4 minutes with that start Maybe you could add this loading side on background process so no hang will occur and i could look newest opened pdf, will be so nice? If you need any other detailed log included hanging and long start video ( mouse busy state not permit any action )

Everything is fine, normally there is no delay, but at startup such a file blocks all access. Slowness and lags are not normally present, but assuming they are, it's not a problem. At least when you click on the pdf and open it or at the first startup, these slow problematic and mapped files can continue to process in the background without blocking all the other parts, otherwise the whole program locks itself for one problematic file until the loading is finished very weird about 5min or shit the close open again and that's spam again until clear the option that hard and most of us no know that too.
I guess this can be easily fixed by prioritizing opening files or loading them in the background, maybe it won't cause any problems for most users today, but in the future, when many users are constantly faced with this situation, when closing and opening doesn't help, they will become disenchanted with using this beautiful and rare program by constantly uninstalling and installing the program.
The simplest solution is to at least make the program ignore previous pdfs when opening a pdf directly and open only the one clicked on. Of course, it would be better to load all open pdfs in the background without interrupting the process without any freezing at the end of the process.
I assume this is about file opening being slow if the file is on network drive.
I latest pre-release most file loads are done on a thread. It's still slow but at least doesn't block the UI.
I have the same issue and would like to expand on it a bit.
It's not just opening files. Closing tabs also hangs for a few minutes too. In fact all sorts of operations do.
I use mapped drives. To be fair Windows isn't much better, it often takes 30 seconds to open a file requester.
Hopefully the fix will address all these issues.
Unfortunately there is no simple fix for slow drives. Sumatra hangs because it tries to read a file and the OS is taking long time to do it.
@kjk one place where I think logging "seemed" to show large delays (no current copy of those logs and current seems fast)
WAS when is opening epub where if I recall, MuPDF was repeatedly attempting a system font substitution?
stumbled on couldn't find system font 'serif' https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/2669#issuecomment-1149330449 so unsure if that one is now closed ?
