Slowness and sometimes “the window is not responding” error message

@laurent

Could you provide a log of what happens when you change a note? Normally it should just upload the note you have modified so I'm surprised it's slowing down the app.

To get a log, you could open the console, clear it, then make a change, and share with us just what was added to the console.

Of course, here are the lines that showed up as I was typing text into a note, when the "after save sync" kicked in and slowed down Joplin, at exactly 13:49:13:

Small clarification: the "Downloads" were endless this morning, and I clicked on Cancel to be able to use Joplin a little. From what I see, they resume if I manually click Synchronize (I have the sync interval turned off) but they do not resume during automatic synchronizations which are launched after modifying a note. That said, I don't know if the fact that these downloads are not completed has any impact. I plan to manually restart the full synchronization (downloads) when I leave my PC.

Meanwhile, the setting synchro target:none that I can set whenever I want, save myself
