[Issue with file name consistency.]

I have found that there is inconsistencies when coming to saving the image that has been edited.

Sometimes I find the file name defaults to “untitled” when coming to save image, image is imported from WD My Cloud every time in the same way. Also importing from iCloud has same issues. Please see screen shots for examples.

Hi Inocentpredator,

Yes I had a go with the same file that frankthechicken was using in the above recording and I too ran into the same pauses/delays as seen in the said recording. I cannot test this in 1.6 as we cannot open 1.7 files in 1.6 versions of the app so I found some other complex files that I could open in 1.6 but I didn't really notice any real performance issues. Opening the same file in 1.7 that was working well in 1.6 seemed to work well too.

I really think we need some 1.6 files that perform poorly in 1.7 but we need to make sure those files are not saved in 1.7 so we can use a copy to always refer back to in 1.6. 

Hi Chris B

I have attached the RAW file I’m working with for you to have ago with. I am using healing brush, patch tool and inpainting brush on a duplicated layer to do some basic healing. I am then creating a new pixel layer and then merging visible to this layer, I am then using frequency separation filter and then using the healing brush to even out skin tone. I can’t even use the brush tool to even out the skin as it won’t let me brush and copy the area I want to correct without extreme lag, I get no red mask to show where i have brushed and takes so long to apply I don’t even know if it’s happened for around 10seconds! and it gets worse after each brush stroke. 

Hope that helps

Thank you for the feedback. I will find some time today and try working on some real-case files and do some screen recordings for the developers. 

Chris B, any update on these problems at the moment???

I am also finding that 1.7.2.153 is very laggy, I am trying to edit portrait raw file from canon 5dmk2 and when using iPad Pro 2016 9.7 on ios 12.4. My lag is while trying to use brush controls after having more than a couple of layers in play. Using any live filter like frequency separation just kills the work flow waiting sometimes 4-7 seconds for the stroke register, i have tried using Apple Pencil and by finger. Trying to use Macro studio is also painfully slow to apply just a 9 layer action and is then uneditable. Also I have noticed that the blue highlight has disappeared when you select a layer mask, so impossible to know if it’s selected to make your adjustments.
