Looks like two of us are into PeCo. I am trying to only go a few spells ahead rather than whole sections this time.
It takes sooo long to load the thing, especially since I have minimal internet over a hotspot. I think we should try copying all of the Herbam stuff into a new file, commenting on it there.
Agreed and that is something I have recommended before. It is the only way to actually get around all the deleted/closed comments which are still tracked in a document even after you remove what they were attached too.
Load times are going to be an increasing issue as we go, yes. I suggested splitting them out into Form docs as well, but since we'd already started commenting in Corpus, we couldn't move that one.
I will do that for Herbam, and we can see if it works better. But we still have some Auram spells left as well as Corpus.
Ok, I have made a copy of the File we're working on, without all of the resolved comments. Hopefully, it will run better now for all involved.
Looks like it. Before it would hit 2~3 GB of memory and hovered at 5% CPU while loading, which is insanely high CPU (1.6 5Ghz CPU cores). Now it is just under 400 MB of memory and was at 0.1~0.6% CPU while loading. It does not really load much faster for me, but my machine is overkill and so there should be a noticeable increase in loading time and lack of "chug" for those on older machines or phones.
Started working with the copy and it is MUCH easier for me to utilize. It loaded while I was getting a glass of water, and doesn't lag when moving between pages anymore.

Wait, stuff we're in the middle of is now in a new document? So the whole bunch of comments I've made recently are in which one? I can't tell very easily when I see the changes in email. So I may have made a bunch of comments that have not been copied over.
Everything is still really slow for me, so I may well have made all my comments in the old document, in which case they're now separated from the discussion, right?
Edits:
I'm also not the only one who made comments in the older document yesterday or today.
I feel like we need to freeze comments for a moment to allow Itzhak to make sure the new document has the newest comments. And then we can continue.
However, there is the additional problem that that will dissociate new comments from the flags about them being new comments.
Yup, I have now seen a branching conversation on at least one spell. So we are definitely encountering some problems. @Red-Shadow-Claws , how do you want to go about this?
Ok, the old file has had all info deleted, so do not comment there, but you can go there to see the new idea I have for the cover...
Did you delete all the new comments? Or did you copy them over?
I couldn't copy just the new comments, so, unfortunately, they had to go.
Ouch! I had some really important ones in there.
In the future, it's never a good thing to move stuff in the midst of it being worked on. What works a lot better is to lock it, move it over, and open the new one.
I will do that next time. I got too excited learning I could copy the file and leave the resolved comments out, that i didn't give you guys enough advance notice. My bad.
I'm trying to see if I can load the old comment history. I can't remember where I made a bunch of comments. But maybe I can find them.
I think they're still there in the old file, so you could just copy them over. It doesn't delete comments completely
Noting that you can copy some comments over, could we have one file for each Form beyond Corpus? If these are set up ahead of time, we'll avoid this problem. Plus the files will be much smaller so we'll avoid the explosive growth problem.
Yes, I think I can get into the old comments. But I'm working over a cellphone so it takes like 10-15 minutes to load the comment history... Actually, I'm not even sure I can effectively load it because I keep getting a spinning wheel when I move the slider on the comment history.
Ya, I cannot get into the comment history at all effectively with my connection. I'll be able to get in in about 3 weeks. It's also not just my comments, but at least one other person's. Could someone with something notably faster than a laptop over a cellphone look at the old file's comment history and copy over comments made since the new file was made? It shouldn't be a ridiculous number.
We will get a file for each From, after we finish Corpus and Auram. No problem.
