[no Bug] Skin engine / Treeview => makes the UI not really responsible (1 Viewer)

[FreakyJ]

Hey everybody,

I was again just playing a little bit with MP2 and found a small annoying issue =)
It looks like MP2 has to finish all UI animations and can't skip some of them.
A short example:

I wanted to add a new share and were in the tree view, where I can select the folder which I want to add.
Now I was looking for the right folder and scrolled up and down, up and down and moved my mouse above various folders. During this MP2 was getting really slow and not responsive. I scrolled and had to wait until all animations/row highlighting was finished... the same again as I wanted to click "continue"... I moved my mouse down to the button over the tree view ad had to wait again until all animations were finished oO

Hi FreakyJ,

This is a known issue with the TreeView control : when browsing a folder with a large number of items, this control makes MP2 very slow.

It was already reported internaly, but it still exists.

Albert, any ideas to fix it ?

I double checked it with the GUI Test Plugin and there isn't this issue in the tree view control. I thought this is a different issue =)

Sorry, but the problem seems really to be in the treeview.

If you add 300 elements to a treeview at the same level, you have the same problem. I just tried by changing the GUI Test plugin.

The "normal" GUI Test Plugin treeview does not contain enought items to show the problem.

Anyway, thanks for the bug report

Maybe my explanation wasn't clear enough, but you got the point and I confirm =)

I just changed the prefix of this thread to "no bug", since it's only a performance problem. When we have much time, we'll see if we can improve the default style of the TreeView.
