Rednotebook seems to freeze up for me when loading. Happening for anyone else?

This is a known issue with RedNotebook, it is listed on the official page for the app that it can take a while to load up journals.
Ok thanks. I have removed it until they can fix it.
It's been an issue for a while. RedNotebook just opens journals REALLY slow. Like 30+ seconds slow. RedNotebook Portable automatically opens the default journal in the Data directory, so that slowness occurs on startup. But if it started without a journal, it would start quickly, and then die for 30 seconds when you go to open a journal. This affects the standard local version and the portable version. Basically, if you just accept it as normal behavior and remember it will take that long to open (and report as unresponsive on Windows Vista/7 during that time), then it's ok.

with the author the problems revolves around the use of Python in Wondows which is what is causing this

Hi, any news on this being sorted? Its such a good program, such a shame.
edit:
just downloaded new (non portable) RedNotebook v1.3. Seems the problem has been tackled?
It depends on your PC. The local version of RedNotebook 1.3 takes over 45 seconds to open on first run with a clean install on my quadcore Win7 x64 box. It's definitely an issue with the app itself. It does seem to be a first-run thing, though.

of base app there are some registry files written. So when you launch the none portable one the entries are already there. On the portable one the files need to be created on first run, hence the delay on first rum. After that they are move to location on use and then set back in data folder

Maybe the first run files could be saved and added to the paf file?

as they are appdata files dependent on each user

The files created on first run vary based on first run and date. I do have an idea with some custom code that may work, though, for the next version.

I would think it is moot. If a user want it in PAF format then it is what it is. In the whole scheme of things NOTHING is instant no matter how fast it is. So for a first run I do not really see a problem with the creation of the files. Especially since the first run only occurs once and not on every run. Just my humble opinion.

A new release has been made of RedNotebook, I managed to shave a few seconds of initial load time and secondary load time.
More importantly I know have discovered what is causing the slowness, just need to figure how it is happening and why.
When and if I can figure this out will release a Pre - release version for testing.
Any Python programmers around who might give me some incite on "Cloud" and or "Tag" files in Python I could sure use some help.

Not Python terms. Rednotebook-specific.

They are the Python scripts which are slowing things down within RedNotebook. It's an issue with the app itself (not our portablization of it), so we need some Python devs to help fix the scripts.

The big complaint is on my build (for whatever reason) and regardless of what the issue is I would love to get a better handle on it.

As best as I can tell from reading the code this is the Script that needs looking at. Big However, even if resolved not sure I am capable of recompiling it....unless I learn some Python real quick

Easiest way is to either load program then left hand panel is a "Cloud" panel which allows quick search of the contents of the journal.
OR
in source ode I think it is this file
rednotebook-1.3.0\rednotebook\gui\clouds.py
Not sure if that helps

Take a look here please for recent findings.
