| Summary | 0011509: (Wishlist) Cache Image Frame PDF Previews to Speed Opening Documents | ||||
| Description | (This is a wishlist item.) We're using Scribus in an architectural and engineering firm to tile PDFs published from our CAD system onto sheets with title blocks, notes and referencing. With a little Python, this works very well. This results in Scribus documents with dozens of image frames populated by PDFs, and they are slow to open because Scribus needs to rasterize each frame with Ghostscript to show the previews. This start-up delay could be eliminated if Scribus cached these previews to disk. The previews could be updated by comparing the timestamp of the preview to the source PDF. I'd imagine this should be optional, and probably turned-off by default and toggled in the Preferences dialog. It would speed our use of Scribus greatly, though. It would also go a long way toward my co-workers perceiving Scribus as a nimble, speedy program. I believe the preview step happens in the "scimgdataloader.cpp" file. | ||||
