"Format Study Template..." opening time

Postby ilt000 » 26 Apr 2011

Dear Support,

I'm facing this problem:

When I try to apply a template on a chart ,clicking on Format Study Template, I have to wait more then 1 minute (1min and few seconds) before I get back the window with all the templates that i had previously saved.
In the c:\users\...\appdata\roaming\ts support\multicharts folder I have 3183 templates, I need all of them and in the future this number will increase.

What can I do in order to decrease the waiting time between the click on "Format Study Template..." and the opening of the Template window?

Thank You
Best

That makes sense that it takes a minute to display the list - a template with just two signals is 500 lines of information stored in a text file. All of those files need to be read in order to be displayed. If you have thousands of templates, and I'm sure some templates have more than two signals, then it will take a little while to display them all.

Perhaps, something could be optimized to make this faster, you should add a feature request to the PM, and include your templates in a ZIP archive.

That is true, SSD drives to have faster speed reads, although I would not guarantee that it will improve it.
