I have a similar issue as anon716631 (setting up a new machine for a user) and when LOADING Paratext it sits there for a full 2 minutes while it has “Looking for existing language data…” on the progress bar. This seems very strange to me - especially on a brand new i7 with 8GB RAM. Usually Logos is sluggish to load, but that comes up in 20-30 seconds, whereas PT9 is still taking 2+ mins. I’ve evn tried updating to the latest Beta 9.0.100.11 but it didn’t change anything.
It looks like I’ll have to copy the WritingSystemRepository folder over from the previous machine… ![:frowning:](/?qa=blob&qa_blobid=4824762460629323421)
But surely we should be doing something smarter than querying the SLDR every time we open Paratext! Nudge, nudge… Scott D also reported this in Sep 2018.with PTXS-17507.
Edit: Yes, copying the WritingSystem folder from the old machine to the new SOLVED the issue for me too. I’m hoping we can automate this in future. ![:slight_smile:](/?qa=blob&qa_blobid=3259851938173890171)
