Hi all,
I could post a video later, if needed.
Providing a workflow is not needed I think, just use table creator and row filter or any other new node that has an options dialog. (new node as in: the new optics where you need to scroll a looot more than the versions before)
I am using classic UI, where the options dialog is opening in a new window, as it always has been.
Why not new UI? With a few hundred workflows to manage in dozens of folders, the navigation in the new UI is such a pain (tree structure with different folders open at the SAME time is needed), it’s simply not worth it. Until recently, the new UI also could not handle “big workflows”.
Almost all the time, no matter what node, the window needs ~2 seconds to open - does anyone have an idea why?
I just know that it is really going on my nerves and I would like to fix it, if possible.
KAP LTS 5.8.2, Win11
Thanks in advance!
can double that. I takes a lot of time even for the dialog window to show up. I guess it has something to do with the new Python background in the new nodes?
Nope, not related to Python. I don’t think existing nodes have been or will be translated to Python. Afaik the new Extension Python API is only used if you write your nodes using the new API or if you install extensions which are using the new API. But built-in extensions provided by Knime won’t be migrated. But that’s just an assumption…
I guess the slow down is related to embedding the configuration dialogs in the WebGL rendered modern UI. It seems like the configuration interface is cached the first time it is loaded. Afterwards displaying the configuration dialog is faster.
But I agree: It’s taking a very long time to display the dialog for the first time.
more likely something like this:
the modern ui runs within a web browser engine. when you open a windows in the modern ui, it opens another window.
but, if you run the old ui, it always starts a new instance for the “first” window. first starts / cold starts are a lot slower.
opening your webbrowser like Chrome / Firefox will take a lot longer than just opening a second windows (ctrl+n).
Opening a config window (knime 5.10) of a webui node usually takes 1,5 to 6 seconds. classic nodes usually 1 sec or less.
