After update to 3.5.14 freezes TB on multiple Ubuntu 20.04 machines

[fwolfst]

After the recent update we see Thunderbirds freezes with memory consumption on the constant rise. This happens often after the first click to a folder. Not sure in how far we could help debugging.

Having the exact same problem on Windows 10. Rapid memory consumption making Thunderbird unresponsive on 3.5.14

is it happening on large folders or just any folder? Which version of TB?

[waytotheweb]

It happens directly after the plugin is upgraded. Thunderbird 102.13.0 (64-bit)

Hi, do you have any Updates on this? We've downgraded XNote on several Ubuntu machines with TB 102.13. installed.

I (luckily) couldn't confirm this behavior yet on Thunderbird 102.13.1 (64-Bit) on Windows, but something more general worries me: What were the changes for version 3.5.14? And where is the latest source code?

Meanwhile the addon is on version 3.5.16, claiming "Source code released under GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1", but the last commit on GitHub is from 2022-11-01 and the last release (and with it the last changelog) is version 3.2.9 from 2021-12-09.

this version has first preparations for a full sync (which is not yet implemented fully). It needs the XNotes in an internal database for that, not in the filesystem.

I can only assume that the transfer from the legacy side of the addon to the webextention side of the addon is blocking, when there are very many XNotes in a folder (can that be the case for you?).

I did not observe anything like that on Win, but I do not have so many XNotes per folder.

If you can confirm having many XNotes, I can put an intermediate version here on github with that switched off, to see whether that helps.

I can confirm that I have over 14000 notes in shared folder a folder on Windows

We have the same problem on several PCs. When starting TB the program freezes for at least one full minute when XNote is active. We have about 1500 notes in our folder after I deleted about 1000 notes already. Is there an intermediate version? I could not find any. Regards, Dirk

TB 102.15.0 32-bit and XNote 3.5.16.

I can confirm the behavior in TB 102.15 in Windows: XNote 3.5.16 causes TB to hang really long, 3.5.14 is better but still causes a significant delay (I cannot go back further because 3.5.9 is not compatible with TB 102). And yes, we have about 10000 XNotes on a network share. Having the XNotes in an internal database sounds reasonable, esp. for a large number of notes; does your dev. version also indicate a performance improvement? Has anyone a good idea for a workaround in such a situation? (that is, with thousands of notes)

Best regards, Bernhard
