TVPaint 12 - false feedback from the Save progress bar
Posted: 25 Feb 2025, 22:53
As I've been using TVPaint 12 more , I notice that when saving (especially saving a large project) the SAVE percentage bar gives false feedback in terms of the actual save time.
For example: I initiate SAVE on an open project ... the progress bar shows 10% saved --- 28% --- 39% --- 55% --- 78% ---- 92% ---- finally reaching 100% , then the progress bar closes and presumably my project has now been SAVED and I can continue to work on it. But, sadly, this is not the case ... when I try to work on my "saved" project I get another 5 - 7 minutes of the "spinning beach ball" (aka rainbow pinwheel) , which means the saving of the file is still processing. I'd rather the save progress bar be more accurate in showing the actual save time . It's frustrating to see the progress bar reach 100% saved and then have to spend another 5 minutes or longer staring at my frozen TVPaint interface as the beach ball spins on top of it , then finally the save actually finishes processing and I can continue. The progress bar should not reach 100% until the project has been completely saved.
