Hi all
I've written s couple of applications using Raspian10 and kivy 2.1.0 running on a pi3 with touch screen.
I'm finding the apps slow down and become unresponsive after some continuous use . This doesn't seem to happen on a linux (kubuntu) desktop, and I don't see any obvious memory leak. I.e. the app doesn't appear to use more ram but resources are clearly being used.
Another problem is the number of files stored slowing one app, a custom magnet tester. The app generates a small file each time a 'test' is performed and this results a a large number of files. (It does have a backup and archive function, but getting anyone to use it is **** . Developers will know what 'users' are like!)
I can't work out what is slowing things down; I have a file chooser on one screen but that is not explicitly loaded until shown (which can really struggle with a load of files) .
Removing file immediately restores the app's responsiveness.
Suggestions welcome
Bill
