Loading af languages is slow

Post by mivi71dk »

Hi

I have just recently updated the SIL files to one of our programs.
This was last done in 2012 :)
This size of the SIL file grew from 966.427 to 6.931.526.

Upon starting the program, I have these lines of code:

siLangDispatcher1.FileName := lStr;
siLangDispatcher1.ActiveLanguage := 2;
siLangDispatcher1.LoadAllFromFile(lStr);

Where lStr contains a link the the SIL file.

Now it takes significally longer to load. Both here (which I can live with) but alos when forms are being created at run time.

Is there a way to speed up this process?
Currently I use version 6.5.2.
Would an upgrade do a difference?

Hi,

Sorry for delay. Loading of SIL file with 7MB of size could be quite long. I would recommend to switch to SIB instead and the load time will dramatically decrease. Because SIL is just a modification of INI file and its loading takes quite time.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Igor Siticov.

Dont be sorry :)
I have a lot of work, so I didn't get around this until now.

Is there an easy way to convert SIL to SIB?

Just open SIL file in SIL Editor and select Export in application's menu and then SIB as export file type.

Funny - file size doubled.
Speed was increased a lot.

Thank you very much :)
