GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 321603
preload prev and next files
Last modified: 2021-06-19 08:46:39 UTC
Now that we have next/prev back it's a bit unfortunate that there is lag due to file loading every time we move to the next image. The simplest thing would be to preload the next image while viewing the current one and keep the prev around when switching to the next. It may well be that the slideshow code already ahs this tuff implemented and just needs to be adapted.
Ok, confirming. This request can be considered a "new" feature? If so, it will be in EOG 2.15.x because we're feature-frozen now.
Or it can be considered as an optimalisation instead of a "new feature", so it can still be added to 2.15.x? :)
Nice idea. It should however have a switch to disable it or to restrict it to local files, so it doesn't block slow connections when looking at a bunch of larger images.
I think an setting could be added to the options under the "slide show" tab. As for the preloading... maybe disable the preloading for filesystems outside the local subnet (so your local fileserver still is preloaded)? I think also it would be best to preload the next 2, and the previous images. That way, when you want to skip a bad image, the next one is already loaded in memory.
I don't think it's a good idea to expose that sort of technical detail to the user. Just Do The Right Thing.
If this behavior comes sometime in the future it probably won't have a UI part. It should just work as Joachim already said.

This thing cannot be done since 2005? O_o
Are you volunteering to implement it?
i just curious...

I'm sorry, but would it ever been implemented? The lack of this feature is the main reason why I use Gwenview instead of eog.
This is still an issue in Ubuntu 11.10. Please take a look at the downstream bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/172719
Confirmed in eog 3.4.2-1 in Debian wheezy
This is still in issue in Ubuntu 13.04, eog 3.6.2.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/eog/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
