Very bad performance with PM6 on Mojave
rhomberg:
Found a really huge problem:
If you jump to the next photo in preview using your keyboard arrow keys, it takes some time to react, in Version 5 this was instant. I find this crucial, there must be no delay between keyboard presses and selection changes, or otherwise your workflow gets disrupted.
Just try to hit left/right/left/right very fast in PM5 and it keeps up perfectly all the time. In PM6 you can do that and watch the preview catch up for a few seconds after you stop pressing any buttons.
Didn't expect such a massive performance drop in PM6 – I hope this bug gets fixed soon, the desctiption said it was supposed to be faster than PM5, not way slower?
By the way – the ENTIRE INTERFACE seems to be very laggy. Every single button press takes a little time before it actually reacts or a dialog box actually appears. Was PM6 not natively developed for the mac and uses a slow emulator or anything? The glitch from the screenshot suggests so.
Thanks,
Matthias

During development and all of our beta testing we had one person that PM6 performed slowly as you describe. We were never able to reproduce this decrease in speed or lagging UI responsiveness on our systems.
I'm sure we'll figure it out soon.
The application is definitely native, written in Objective-C++ for the great majority of the code.
The UI ugliness you showed is because you have full keyboard navigation turned on and it doesn't work well with our custom UI code.

Thank you Kirk, please let me know if I can be of any assistance to find the performance issue!
