I repeat here what DJI and I wrote in another topic ( Topic link ).

We were talking about one of my last filters : Artistic : selgnatceR

Hey Ramlyn. smile:) There's something odd about this filter. It kept freezing the software and I had to locate the file and delete it manually. smile:?:

Thanks DJI. When does it happen? Try to wait a few minutes without clicking other things. It should be fine.

Let's firstly say that the filter doesn't contain any Map Script or Curve Script component, so it is safe.

It doesn't also contain typically slow components, as Bomber, Smudge, Blur. The slowest ones are Median, Percentile, Minimum, and they are set on very light way, so the process is fast.

The execution of the filter is very fast too. Even I have a very normal and old computer, in about 30 seconds I get the result.

It isn't even a too complex filter. You can see from the image below.

I also saw that the filter slows down doing the following things : - Going from this filter to another filter. - Opening/closing the filter editor.

It happens with other filters too, and I don't know the reason.

I guess Filter Forge simply gets busy doing something, but what? If it was a slow filter, I would say that it is the filter itself, too big and slow. But, as I said, the execution of the filter is very fast, so it may be something about Filter Forge system or way of working.


Why does it happen?
The filter is fast. Is there any particular reason or anything that should be avoided?

Please provide details on how to reproduce the freeze. The filters opens correctly and renders in 4 seconds for me.

For me it doesn't freeze but, as I said in the explanation, when leaving this filter and clicking another filter, it takes 1-2 minutes.
It takes even more time to open/close the filter editor for this filter.

Thank you, the editor really opens and closes extremely slowly here. Though the filters renders quickly it has a large number of connections. I've asked the devs to optimize connection checks.
