Description Joel Madero 2014-09-03 08:27:19 UTC
Steps to Reproduce:

Insert a svg into presentation
Insert a new slide
Go back to previous slide

Observed: SVG loads quite slowly (several seconds)
Expected: Images should load immediately (or nearly that)


Set to:
minor - can slow down professional work but not by much
Low - not a very serious issue, default seems fine

> Insert a svg into presentation

What type of SVG? In which application was the SVG created? In the attached example only the SVG prepared in Adobe Illustrator loads slowly under GNU/Linux using v4.3.1.2. I admit it is not a good control test, as we need the same graphic saved by different SVG editing applications. The Illustrator one is likely the most complex and can be obtained here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NuclearPore.svg

According to the W3C validator it contains 60 errors (mainly undefined elements and attributes), so the slow rendering may not entirely be the fault of LO.

Confirming LO 4.3.3.1 OSX 10.10.

Navigating the slides on the test document is everything but fluent. Thus confirmed, OS  > ALL and NEW.

add attachment 113760 [details] (from dupe bug 89728 ) to an Impress document, copy the slide, then "break" the SVG on each. Run a slide show... get a coffee.

Do the same, but don't "break" the SVG apart--slow still, but not glacial.

So, it seems like SVG on Impress slides have to be managed. Can be done by preparing content in Draw and then exporting to BMP from there for inclusion in a presentation. Or, seems like something more is needed within Impress in preparing the slides for presentation mode--a preprocessor to do the conversion to BMP--and not render on the fly.
Comment 6 Frederic Parrenin 2015-10-21 10:23:13 UTC
A related problem is that LO waits for a slide to be rendered before it is capable of moving to the next slide.
It would be better to have an asynchronous mechanism, where one can always change the slide and then if one waits long enough it is rendered.
That would make it easier and quicker to move several slides back or forward.
Comment 7 Joel Madero 2015-10-21 14:43:00 UTC
Please don't add secondary concerns to bug reports. 1 bug per bug report. "A related problem" should be reported separately.
Comment 8 Frederic Parrenin 2015-10-22 15:36:25 UTC
OK, I reported bug 95261.

.odp file to reproduce the problem

This bug is still present in LO 5.1.
I attach an .odp presentation with many SVGs.
Going from one slide to the other can take 1-2 s.
By comparison, opening the SVGs in an image viewer like eog takes ~0.2s.
So it seems some optimization might be possible here.

Comment 14 Roman Kuznetsov 2018-06-19 10:41:36 UTC
I opened both files from attach in LibreOffice 6.1 beta 2. 
There is delay when presentation opens, but changing of slide occurs very fast.

I made it on Intel Core i-3 3120M 2,5 GHz with 4Gb of memory (notebook)

My opinion -> WFM

In attachment 106250 [details], the delay is only in slide 4. I was unable to find the delay with attachment 128564 [details].

I tested again with my recent dell xps13 with a 4k screen and with LO 6.1.5.
The situation seems to have improved.
The delay is at most a few 0.1 s, for both attachments 106250 and 128564.

Sure, but in attachment 106250 [details] all the slides except 4 show their images instantly

Possibly it's an another problem? There is a delay around 1 sec, but I don't think it's "Load Slowly"
Comment 24 Buovjaga 2021-09-22 06:50:35 UTC
Ok, I guess the delay is acceptable. 7 years ago the delay was "several seconds", but now we have faster computers.
