Books (ePub) load extremely slowly for me currently. Can this be sped up (caching, simpler parsing)? It can take 30-40 seconds to load a book, and my phone is mostly unresponsive in the meantime. This is the case on both the old and new (1.22) version.
Plus on the new version (which I just installed), I get a dialog saying that I need to download a Japanese dictionary to look up words in this book. Dictionary lookup doesn't work. Is this a bug? Should I have uninstalled before updating from 1.0 to 1.22?
Again, great work and I look forward to the future iterations of Typhon!
Thanks for the feedback!
For the load time, I have already noticed long load times though not to that level and very randomly.
Can you tell me what phone you use, what version of android and what ebook you are trying to open? (You can reply through private messages if you prefer)
What I was working on lately was more to optimize the launch of the app itself because it is too slow in my opinion.
For the dictionary download, it is possible that you had an old dictionary base that needs an update. I store the dictionaries myself because I modify them. I trimmed wordnet of some unused data and added the 6th version of Heisig index to kanjidic.
Or it might be a bug…
