since many people are ranting about some bugs not fixed, I’ve asked this before in other thread, with no reply, so list here the most important bugs, not the IDE glitches.
you could tell me just look the feedback app, but there is so many little bugs and wishlist., hard to find. Only show stopper ones that cannot be worked around.
So what are your most IMPORTANT bugs in Xojo desktop version :
Performance in Mysql Database use is around 12% of the performance of Java with the same server and the same computer it is running on.
Performance in String concatenation is around 32% of the Java performance with the same Job on the same computer.
Math has many Bugs which are described in endless descriptions in feedback.
Fileread is around 8% of the performance of Java: not usable for bigger amounts of data.
File write: the same as read.
and many many many others. If you want to know them all: read the feedbacks. It is less complex for everybody here if you would start with this literature before. You will find a big amount of them. And please: don’t believe when they wrote: solution. In most cases there is still non.
Beside the performance: Linux IDE behaves completely nuts after a few hours and needs restart, when you have many elements on one Screen it starts to be slow (with Scenebuilder for JavaFX or JFromdesigner I haven’t effects like this so I could it as IDE error).
This are only favorites. If you would have asked for Web…Android…(Ahh, yes: there is no Android)…IOS…(Ah yes, there is no native Java IOS…uuppps there is: Gluon can use native if I want to). So…though.
The hard part with trying to read feedback is that you cant get a list of open bugs by just anyone
Searching isnt great
This makes it hard to see bugs other people have reported
i don’t understand, 12% slower ? or java = 100, then xojo speed is 12-32% ? i’m not a fanboy or anything, i’m asking question. i have no religion, i use golang too for ex its nice.
I think he means this
I recall trying to help him deal with the speed issue in Xojo + mysql and it was a fraction of Java’s speed accessing the same data in the same database
not the point, i work to build projects, by any mean necessary
we use gloang to make servers. to make postgresql apis in json
then
xojo desktop clients for editing/ viewing.
these apis will be public
you want to make a java client too ?
Sorry but I am building Software Projects with my Company, the Stueker Group, for medical devices, Data Transfer Systems, CNC-machines and more. We use C++, C, Java, JavaFX. We connect to Mysql, Access, HSql, Postgresql, Oracle DB, IBM DB1 and much more. We don’t need to connect to something not really used in the market. Our goal is that we fit the industry needs.
57894 - Bug “57268 - Inspector odd behaviour” is back
OS: OS X 10.13.6
Xojo: Xojo 2019r2
Steps: I wanted to change the size of one of my windows and got the behaviour of the “jumping inspector” back. It must be related to the project. When I copy the affected window into a new project then the jumping doesn’t occur.
Editing anything is a window is like a slap in the face. Every darn time I edit something. 2 years later the bug still haven’t been fixed. It looks so unprofessional.
This one also slaps me on a regular basis, but Xojo is unable to reproduce it… So I thought it was just me. Kinda happy it happens to others also, I’m not that crazy.
Im going to be honest here and say that there is not a single bug that is a showstopper for me.
I understand that there are some maths things that are known.
Sockets cause people some trouble.
The things that get me are that drawing images scaled is much slower since 2015.
Most people don’t do as many bitmap draws in a tight loop as I do, so the cumulative effect is a big issue for me, while trivial to Xojo and everyone else.
Like many of the ‘bugs’ listed here, its more ‘I wish it was better’, and complaints about the IDE/debugger.
Linux IDE behaves completely nuts after a few hours = bug
debugger skips = bug
API2 = change for the sake of change
My personal take is that I will live with bugs in the IDE and debugger as long as what comes out the other end works the way I code it.
Are my own products bug free?
No. Never will be.
No. Not. Not at all. And by the way: is it really needed to use MBS Plugs for everything while the Language is not able to do what it promises to do and to be able to do??? Wow.
Here is my curated list of IDE issues taken from my big list I posted in the other thread, “only show stopper ones that cannot be worked around” is a relative term as almost everything is “worked around” by restarting the IDE, so some of these cause me to stop what I’m doing, some cause me concern and some cause me to just sigh deeply at time wasted when reloading a project because of irreparable damage to code:

seriously, I don’t understand your rationality about the tools you use, and your development process, if you are to critic about Xojo, why do you care if they make android or not ?
Plus you stated earlier you tried professionnaly to use xojo web. so you had issues with desktop you are a masochist, you kept debugging web 1.0 ?
the problem is not web 1.0, but the fact you even considered that you could use it at scale from the start. it’s a bad tech choice sorry.
and personally, in the last survey we had couple months ago, I replied that i don’t plan to use ios nor android, ever, and they should fix bugs rather than making new platform. ok maybe for web and Pi, ios and android market are overcrowded with tools, who have lots of funding like ionic.
doesn’t mean we can’t use desktop version to make app, and we do.
