  +1 I bought the pro version but stopped using it because is too slow

    When you say slow, what part do you refer to? I am always looking to improve on the performance front

      I like the app; it has many useful features. Unfortunately, opening it, the UI, and adding new hosts are slow (as is typical for programs written in Java). This makes it inconvenient when working with many hosts. It could probably be improved by leveraging more background tasks or using a more modern and performant development language.

        I think it’s mainly bad optimization on my part. I will work on that for the next release as best as I can. So hopefully I can fix your issues somewhat until then

  The last few updates in particular seem to have very long launch times

    I am a bit confused by the feedback on the performance here. Now the performance wasn’t that great previously, but that should have been fixed over time, especially in the latest updates.

    Maybe I am missing something when testing. So if you want, feel free to elaborate on where the performance issues occur, I can look into that.

      It does seem a bit better now on 15.3, but essentially on 15.x often the first time I start it up in the morning it will sit for 10-20 seconds on “Loading connections”. Starts after that first one are only a few seconds like normal.

      Is there a log file I can poke through to see if anything stand out next time it happens? I only have about 20 connections in total.

        You can go to Settings -> Troubleshoot and either take a look at the log files or launch it in debug mode. If you find anything, feel free to post on GitHub or Discord

  What system did you try it on? I can look into it

    First, I like the idea of xpipe. It could be a quite useful tool. I have almost 500 Host entries in my .ssh/config which I manage with github.com/grahame/sedge btw

    my work host CPU: 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 4700U with Radeon Graphics (-MCP-) speed/min/max: 1590/1400/2000 MHz Kernel: 6.8.0-54-generic x86_64 Up: 5d 2h 47m Mem: 3.7/14.85 GiB (24.9%) Linux Mint with Regolith desktop

    What I mean with “slow”: every action in the UI is almost non responsive

      Thanks for the info, I see the issue with that many host entries. I will fix that for the next release
