Archicad 28 home screen delay

[Takis]

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing a long delay in the HOME SCREEN menu when opening Archicad 28 and when deleting recent projects.

The same delay also occurs when I open the HOME SCREEN while working on a project.

Is anyone else facing these issues?

Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900X CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz

Just deleted the huge recent file list and everything goes well since ! Not s big deal but have to delete all the files listed after each use of ACad and then by each new opening of the ACad … anoying and invonvenient !!

Any idea when this will be available, these 7min load times are killin' me.....................................

I am guessing it will be a couple of months if 28.2 was only just released.

Delete the recent document file that Minh mentioned in his post.

Just be aware that will clear the entire list of recent documents.

Otherwise you have to spend time and manually delete older files from the list in the start up dialogue.

Hi all,

maybe a BATCH is interesting for somebody.

Following "code" delete START-SCREEN from all your installed AC-versions. 

- Copy following text into NOTEPAD,

- replace USER_NAME by your name,

- safe this text file as XYZ.bat

Ending "bat" is important, so it becomes  

CLOSE all AC!

Double-click onto the BAT-file in explorer!

Double-click onto Logfile.txt!

Have a nice day!

echo Logfile dated: %date% %time% > Logfile.txt
echo -------------------------------------------- >> Logfile.txt

del C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Graphisoft\Recent*.prf /f /q /s >> Logfile.txt
end

You could probably use the task scheduler to run that BAT automatically at a set interval, or add it to your startup, if you have access to those things.

[MarkT]

Do you mean simply drop the BAT file into the startup folder?

[Lingwisyer]

If you have permissions to that.
