Hello I m developing an application using pygtk under ubuntu. For creation of thumbnails on an image list ( inside a gtk.Treeview), I create a pixbuf for each thumbnail. After power up of my laptop , I load the program and my 500 images ( image loading is made on background) , for the creation of pixbuf, I can see many disc access to load the pixbuf ( I use the command pixbuf_new_from_file ). Then if I quit the application, and reload the program, The load time is very short, and I can no more notice disc access. It's like my pixbufs stays in memory, and gtk application did not need to reload from file. It's very useful for loading time but I don't understand why and how the buffers "stays in memory" How it is possible to force my application to start with the same behavior as the first launch ( many disc accces), without rebooting my laptop each time (;-() . I need that to optimize the loading of the pixbuf on background. Hoping that my question was understandable. Thanks in advance Nico. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
