Very high CPU utilization (Mac Air)

Thanks. Do I need to uninstall the current version before installing the new one?

Hello Kerem,

For Mac you can just replace the app file. For windows you will need to uninstall.

Hello Nail,

Please upload the logs via help-> upload logs. We will review it and do whatever is necessary to get this to work.

MY, sent the logs.  Didn’t see how to label them, I’m still using the “trial”, haven’t looked again to see if I got an update email notice yet so not sure how you know they are from me.

If you need me to send them again, just let me know here.

Hello Nail,

Thank you for the logs. We see a bunch of exceptions that might be leading to the slowness. We will come up with a fix for you to try soon.

Good deal, thanks for the help.  I hope the fixes are relatively painless, GL.

Nail

Hello Nail,

There is an update that should hopefully fix the issue. Please get it from help-> check for updates. The exceptions should go away and the performance issues should also hopefully resolve.

I got the update, Glider seems to be holding around 100 CPU now.  I haven’t been much yet since on vacation.  I’ll let you know more when I get back to it.

I still have the matching quotes/braces thing happening.

Nail

Hello Nail,

Hmm, it seems it is stuck in a loop somehow. Does the problem happen all the time or when opening a particular project? Please upload logs when you get a chance, in the meantime enjoy the vacation.

Hey MY,

After hoveering around 100 - 115 for most of the day, I decided to close Glider and open it again.

When it reloaded, CPU went to 200+ and holding steady.

I then closed the project I’m working on and played with a Test code project which is substantially smaller and was in the project window, the CPU stayed 200+.

I closed Glider again and reloaded it with only the Test project loaded.  CPU was about 5.

I then reopened my current project and CPU spiked to +200 momentarily, but quickly dropped back to 5.

In the background it’s only using 2.3 CPU.

At some point, the CPU is going to ramp up again, probably stuck in a loop I would think, I’m just not sure when it happens.

Hope this helps,

Nail

Hello Nail,

Another thing, I can’t get auto complete to stop adding the matching brackets or quotes…really frustrating

Do you mean after you type open quote or open parenthesis it automatically closes it? If you have to take your hand off the homekey to press the right arrow then this can get very frustrating. Instead you should just close it as you normally would and the IDE should be smart enough to replace the one already there instead of creating a syntax error.

Thanks for the detailed information and the logs. Unfortunately the logs do not really give us any more information. If it is not too much trouble would it be possible to have a stripped down version of your project (without art assets, it need not even compile properly.) We will then test it ourselves and try to replicate the problem on our end so we can fix the issue.

This would be much appreciated and of course any code you give us will be promptly deleted unless you also want us to add it to our integration tests.

Yes this is what I mean, a simple bothersome example would be when I want to print a variable value, since the IDE adds the closing quote, I have to go to the right arrow to jump the automatically added quote to enter the comma and variable.

print("print this == ", value)

I don’t want the IDE to add any quotes or parenthesis or anything to my typing.

I can’t stop it from adding the closing quote or parenthesis, even though disabled in “code completion”.

I haven’t coded anyting, but have done several build and runs with my project and have left Glider running in the background and haven’t seen the CPU climb since I last re-opened my project.  I’ve also opened and re-loaded Glider several times this morning and haven’t seen the CPU spike and hold, it’s always coming back down to <5 now like it probably should. 

I’ll let you know if I see the CPU climb again, but for now everything is running properly.

Hello Nail,

I see. You do not need to use the right arrow. All you will need to do is close the quote as you normally would, the IDE will replace the existing quote. In other words just type as you normally would completely ignoring the added quote, it will replace the one already there. There is no need to delete the added quote or use the right arrow.

I think the utility is more evident when you are nesting parenthesis, you will run into much fewer unbalanced parenthesis errors.

Sheesh, sorry about the complaint, I didn’t realize I could just over type it and continue.  My bad, I just never tried it, probably since 1.7 didn’t add the closing quote.

As of tonight, no CPU spikes…fingers crossed.

Nail

Hello Nail,

No problem, glad things ended up working out. This is pretty standard for most IDEs and is pretty useful once you get used to it. For instance you wont have to remember if you opened the string with a single or double quote. 

Let us know if you get any CPU spikes.

Hello,

I am having the same issue on my Macbook air. The CPU goes to 300+ % !!! and then the only way is to kill Glider then it is ok for few minutes but it happens again. I did download the new version with the link above. I am not sure what my licence # is so I am assuming I am using the trial version now (21 days)

Please HELP! I am trying to finish app before the apple Christmas deadline and this issue is really putting a break on my progress!

THANK YOU!

Mo.

ps:

Macbook air (most recent) OS 10.8.4 (8meg RAM)

Corona# 1260 

Sorry to hear you are having the same problem. Just to close the loop on my end, the issue was solved for me with the latest update. Hope you find a resolution soon so that your game release is not affected. 

Thanks Ksan! I will post here when my issue get resolved.

Mo

Hello Mo,

We are sorry to hear about the issues you are having. If you have downloaded the app more than a week ago please re-download as there was an update recently. If this still does not solve your issue we suggest you switch to the simple scanner like this:

@M.Y. Developers: Thanks for your help. I downloaded the soft again (from the link above) and I will let you know how it goes. Unfortunately I seems to have lost the code coloring scheme!  I only see black text instead of different colors for say comments, code and so on. I can change the theme but when I tried to use “font colors” / syntax, there is no profile and nothing to choose from. There is an import function in that window but I am not where I can import some profiles. Do I need to download the soft again?

Final question, how can I get my licence# again? I downloaded this “try” version which will expire in 21 days.

Thanks again. Love Glider!

Mo

PS: WOW, it is worst than I thought. The fact that the code coloring does not work also seems to mean that I cannot edit my code!!! I can add text but when I tried to delete characters, it won’t let me. So it is really broken now. I will try to re-download Glider but I am in BIG trouble now!
