Description Mikolaj Machowski 2009-01-03 18:42:21 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When switching between panels Marble is called and blocks operation for few seconds. For example when switching between Tags and Albums it takes several seconds (it was previously almost instant) and on Konsole I see output:

resetting the base of the Geometry model 0xc561ae0
start generate indexes
generated indexes
MarblePlacemarkModel (generateIndex): Time elapsed: 2740 ms
Style reset requested.
resetting the base of the Geometry model 0xc656748
start generate indexes
generated indexes
MarblePlacemarkModel (generateIndex): Time elapsed: 1974 ms
Style reset requested.

Albums to Calendar:

resetting the base of the Geometry model 0xc280980
start generate indexes
generated indexes
MarblePlacemarkModel (generateIndex): Time elapsed: 2085 ms
Style reset requested.
kdeinit4: preparing to launch
resetting the base of the Geometry model 0xc675fb8
start generate indexes
generated indexes
MarblePlacemarkModel (generateIndex): Time elapsed: 2022 ms
Style reset requested.

And so on. And it really takes 4 seconds (or more - as described in messages) each time.

It happens also when switching between albums in Albums view, months in Calendar view, tags in Tags view, etc.

Note: I am using KDE 4.2
