Very slow paging in FM 10 in graphic-heavy files

Thu Apr 4 14:15:03 PDT 2013

Hello Tammy,

I imagine that someone has suggested this already but for speeding up temporary navigation (e.g. if you need to zoom down to 25%), use View->Options and "uncheck" graphics. This makes all graphics disappear. You can arrive at your destination more swiftly and then reverse the process (e.g. "check" graphics) so you can view the image as you write.

The keyboard short cut is ALT v o --

Other remote possibility of speed issues is if you have checked "Save FrameImage with Imported Graphics" under Preferences.

I still have FM7.2 loaded (for testing comparison) on my personal WinXP machine. I have noticed that even that older version of FM runs slower than it did "when new" due to the many successive WinXP upgrades. I speculate that there may be some connection. The PC environment has changed considerably since FM7 and FM8 were released.

Thank you to everyone for all their insight into this issue. I have received a myriad of onlist and offlist responses, and they range from others having identical issues and not being able to resolve them to some resolution depending on if you turned off graphics, pods, etc. One interesting comment that was made to me offlist on a few occasions was that the problem seemed to really come to the forefront after the last few rounds of Windows updates, and that is truly something that I have noticed as well.  A few people commented that overall FM 10 response in almost every aspect was noticeably slowed after this last round of updates and this was working local or w/ both the files and graphics stored on a network.  For now, I am going to keep all pods closed and be somewhat thankful that I am pretty keyboard driven for commands (which harks back to my days on older versions of FM and my age in general :)). I really do need to keep the graphics displayed as I write for a variety of reasons, but if that ultimately becomes the real showstopper, I will just have to work my way around that as well.  I am sooooooo tired of all these issues w/ newer versions of FM. FM 7.2 and 8.0 were just as solid as a rock and quality just seems to be going downhill exponentially w/ every subsequent release.

Thanks so much again everyone.

Regards,

TVB

I'm surprised upgrading the RAM made any difference. I thought 32-bit Windows only recognizes 4 GB maximum (actually, I think it's something like 3.2 GB).

FM 11.0 / Win 7, 32-bit / Intel i3 cpu

Similar problem in book with 36 chapters.  Significant improvement in response time attained by upgrading RAM from 4GB to 8GB.  Though there is still room for improvement.
