Slowdown when viewing Images from Internet
I'm having a small annoying problem.
When I add a picture frame with a feed to Flickr (and probably every other image feed) and it needs to update / change the image (default to 30 seconds, usually) Bumptop goes into slo-mo mode until that image is downloaded, i.e. it LAGS.
This is probably only noticeable on slower connections, like mine, but it would be nice that the image would download in the background and only switch once it's done, rather than pause everything else while waiting for the image to download.
Kind Regards
Michael Struwig.

I’m annoyed, but not angered.

Inappropriate?So what when is "lags" the whole computer slows down or just the program also does it lag when trying to do anything else or it could just be ur connection but it can be the stress on the CPU but i don't know
Best reguards Kavic
I’m curious

Inappropriate?It only lags BumpTop, everything else runs fine.
It shouldn't be the stress on the CPU, I'm running a Core 2 Duo E6600 at 3.2Ghz, so it shouldn't even make it sweat.
So I'm sure it's definitely the result of not downloading the things in the background. -
Inappropriate?We're looking into this now, but it shouldn't be stalling since the downloading/parsing of the feed is done on another thread. The actual loading and binding of the image may cause a slight hiccup, but not for a machine like yours. If you could shoot us an email at feedback@bumptop.com from the Send Feedback button in the BumpTop system tray icon, it'll forward a little more information about your setup that will help us debug the problem. Thanks

Inappropriate?It would also be helpful to tell us the framerate drop. You can do this by pushing F3 when in BumpTop.
Drag an icon around in circles to force renders and update the framerate count. If you can give us a Frame Per Second Number while its loading a pic frame or not, it would be helpful.
