GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 738854
loading screenshots is slow
Last modified: 2014-10-24 12:53:53 UTC
When clicking one of the thumbnails in the application view there is a noticeable delay. Most likely because it's then actually loads the bigger screenshot. This makes things feel a bit unresponsive in general. One idea I had the other day was that maybe it could display the smaller screenshot scaled up, and then fade over to the more detailed one once that is loaded (since the smaller one is actually loaded and cached already). I'll attach some sort of animated mockup shortly.

Created attachment 288909 [details] animated mockup Ideally the blown up thumbnail would have a bunch of blur attached to it.
