Designer 2.1.1 delay on opening/closing layer folders

[mb69]

There's about one second of delay between releasing the input (mouse button, lifting pen etc.) and expanding / collapsing of the folder. Might be by design or performance, but it feels abysmal.

I am on Ryzen 3600, RX 5700. Is it related to the amd opencl issue? (but nothing is rendering the thumbs are cached, also happens on collapsing)

this is me clicking as fast as i can in photoshop and in designer. (edit: its even worse in more complex documents, or recent beta, or because I had have instance open for a long time, just wanted to show its a problem even in freshly opened stable version) 

Just painful.

Hi Mb69,

I can't really see an issue in the example you have provided. The layer stack still seems to be expanding pretty fast do you have a gif showcasing a more extreme example at all?

Thanks

absolutely, this is in latest beta, same file with now more stuff in it after day of work, im releasing the mouse button as fast as i can, you can even see the tooltip rendering get stuck when it crunches.

 But to be honest event the first gif I sent is pretty bad, the point here isnt that it takes .3s or 1 second, the point is there is any perceivable lag at all, it is just unpleasant to use, and make no mistake, subconsciously, it will drive users away or make bad impression on people used to photoshop.

Wouldn't be as bad if it started crunching on click-down , but since you need the drag functionality and its on mouse up which is delayed inherently, that makes it worse.

edit: and this is still very light document in terms of professional work.

I'll pass this feedback on to our dev team however to be honest this still seems to be expanding fairly quickly to me.

Thanks

I'm not seeing any delay at all. Not when I try it on my system, and certainly not in the examples. I don't think it's possible to make it expand/collapse faster. That's like saying a hummingbird's wings are too slow.. 😁

Thank you, I hope the dev team finds it worthwhile.

i can record it (although hard to record properly without feedback on the button release) in video and play it in slow motion and youll see how it is probably 10 times slower than photoshop one. I'm in gamedev so it's fair I am sensitive to these things, but I think all people are subconsciously and when fixed it will feel much better for everyone. Well, for affected people at least, if it's like this on macos too I would be shocked.. Apple silicon probably brute forces it well enough so it seems fine.

But trust me, professional grade native desktop software shouldn't take noticable time to do anything in UI in 2023. Unfortunately it happens, but really can't be a thing for such a basic action as manipulating layers.
