FileChooser window freezing when opening or importing files

1

Hello,
I run salome 9.11.0 on windows 10. When I try to open a file or import a brep for instance, the filechooser window is very slow and/or freezes.
At start-up, the following warning is displayed in the console : “WRN - The configuration file has not been found, using default parameters.”
I have no zip files at the root level of hard drive and no disconnected letter drives.
Any idea ?

Hi,
I will prepare an instrumented DLL which I will upload later today.
In the meanwhile, can you please send us the output for the following commands that you can run in a cmd terminal (type cmd in the windows search bar to start a cmd terminal).

  • information about your graphics card
wmic path win32_VideoController get name, videoarchitecture, deviceID, adapterram
  • information about your windows version:
ver
  • output of this command line showing your environment variables (remove any sensitive information before sharing this output):
set
  • SALOME installation directory

thanks.

Thank you Nabil,

Salome installation folder is C:\SALOME-9.11.0 but I have tried other locations and I still have the same problem.

Windows version is 10.0.19045.3803.

Graphic card :
AdapterRAM DeviceID Name VideoArchitecture
4293918720 VideoController1 NVIDIA RTX A1000 6GB Laptop GPU 5
VideoController2 Citrix Indirect Display Adapter 5

Hi Karim,
given you’re at CEA, we just sent you all relevant information which will hopefully help to understand what is going behind the scene here.

We will share the solution once this issue is fully understood on SALOME forum.
Regards.

Hi,

it seems to be related to this qt bug report about retrieving icons.

A workaround is to add in run_salome.bat:

SET QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=void

Or, so that it works when you click on the lamp icon, if you have installed SALOME through the install wizard, edit the salome file and add:

    context.setVariable(r"QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME", "void")

line 105 for instance.
