Mac Rhino is slower than before

Rhino Rhino for Mac

Hi @dan and @marlin!

I’m having problems with the latest 5.4 WIP (5E397w) and 5.4 (5E407) - and have had for a couple of versions now. Invoking commands from buttons has slowed down. Using the buttons in the inspector sidebar has a slight delay, but using my fly out toolbars (se screen shot) and buttons now has an irritating 2 second delay. Invoking commands from aliases or the pop up toolbar is as snappy as before.

Closing the Rhino preference window is also slow (about 2…3 seconds) - as is closing Rhino (here I usually get a 4…5 second beach ball before Rhino closes).

I wonder if it has anything to do with upgrading (?) to High Sierra…? The problems might have started about the same time… I think.
If that’s the case… Is there anything you could do to make Rhino work normally again on this computer?

We’re looking into this. More to come soon.

Had nothing but problems since updating to High Sierra, specifically the Nvidia graphics :frowning:

I see… That’s not good. I hope the problems are fixable.

i know this isn’t entirely helpful but…

i have two Macs… both with nVidia and High Sierra.
and Rhino seems fine to me… or i’ve experienced no notable differences if compared to 10.12

(other then the thing @Phillip mentioned above with the preferences window being slow to close which i’ve also reported separately… not sure if that’s a 10.13 thing though)

there’s been known issues for some people who own Macs with Nvidia drivers, my understanding is that its an Apple problem, I had to install web bases graphics drivers, even installing High Sierra proved problematic for me as it did many others too :confused:

Well, this is what I have:

No nVidia here…

We think we’ve figured out this issue (MR-3208). (We plan to publish the fix in an upcoming 5.4.1 update). We still have a number of other bugs we are looking into before we publish that update. Thanks again for reporting this!
