Please note: starting of SMath Studio takes more time then in all previous releases (from 4 to 15 seconds based on the list of installed plug-ins).

What is a reason?

  1. SMath Studio preloads all plug-ins before main window is shown;
  2. SMath Studio preloads its own assemblies;
  3. SMath Studio checks (offline) if installed plug-ins were already tested with this version of the program, so they can be executed safely;
  4. SMath Studio initiates all its internals.


What it gives to user?

  1. It gives possibility to detect more possible errors in plug-ins compatibility (important because the most often bug report now is about plug-ins which are not updated) and to increase calculations on the first time these plug-ins used;
  2. It makes future use more smooth;
  3. Application become much stable because all assemblies already checked and loaded into memory;
  4. It makes first calculations as fast as possible.


Any plans to improve loading speed?

Yes, there are couple of techniques to improve speed in 2-10 times. I will use them in future, so loading speed of SMath Studio will be increased soon.
Please be patient, because currently the main problem is in plug-ins stability and their variety of versions.

Best regards, Andrey Ivashov.

Couldn't make Smath Studio Mono 0.98.6083 work on fully upgraded Arch Linux / KDE Plasma 5.
Smath Studio Mono 0.98.6081 works fine. I guess latest code change on TextRegionUtilities caused that.

Regards

The last build (0.98.6083) broke something in screen scaling. Now in Win 10 high resolution screens (Surface 3 pro) the program is unusable, mouse pointer scales to wrong place, menu fonts are too big and toolbar fonts too small.

____________________________________________

I don't use those gadgets "Surface and the likes" . The original graph is Smath pixel size
not like Mathcad used to be ½ pica [6 pixels]. The original is 708 pixels wide 96 ppi.
Thus, once transferred on Surface 3 that has resolution 216 ppi , it will appear zoomed
down by a ratio of 216/96 = 2.25 ... appearing pretty small . Further, your screen shot
is from whatever transmitted and finally appears pretty blurred on the back 96 ppi PC.
To me, Surface goes no further than playing with cat fur or writting "Hello Grandma".
Smath is essentially not a CAD tool, i.e: not an SVG software like the "likes".
Your screen shot is zoomed down 2.25 ... pixels for pixels.
If you read your Surface back on PC 96 ppi, it should reappear like original.

If you would create something worth for the Smath community and transmit such a
piece of crap from Surface ... better attach a readable Smath document.

The problem was the Image Region plugin and after removing it, everything returned to normal. Curiously, this problem has never occurred with earlier builds in my Surface Pro. The screenshot was attached in original size. At lower resolution screens, it is downsized by the web browser and can probably look pretty horrible. This is the reason I use Surface: excellent screen. One can save the picture and inspect it in original resolution. High resolution screens are getting common and 4K is soon the monitor standard. I think it would be smart to keep Smath compatible with modern hardware.

Thank you for pointing out both the issue and the cause Good

Because plugins are loaded differently in this relase

We'll fix it.

I agree. BTW 4k is just the number of pixels, the issues are all about DPI/PPI different from 96.
