Updating Xojo, Slow load times plugins xojo2017r1 and MBS plugins compatiblity

General

Hi,

It has been a year since I have used Xojo and I am in the process of getting my work environment setup again.

I used 2016r2 and 2016.r3 and now I have downloaded 2017.r1 but the IDE loads really slow… (startup screen)

Right now I use the following plugins:

2007/07/24 08:00 128,048 eselleratePlugin.rbx
2011/11/14 08:00 436,272 ewsPlugin.rbx

2015/11/23 16:05 10,318,672 MBS Xojo CURL Plugin.xojo_plugin

2017/03/24 23:55 847,954 MSSQLServerPlugin.xojo_plugin
2017/03/24 23:55 10,948,010 MySQLCommunityPlugin.xojo_plugin
2017/03/24 23:55 1,416,757 ODBCPlugin.xojo_plugin
2017/03/24 23:55 314,710 OraclePlugin.xojo_plugin
2017/03/24 23:55 3,763,425 PostgreSQLPlugin.xojo_plugin

I found out that this takes extremely long to load when booting Xojo.

I think it takes around 1-2 minutes “loading plugins” when starting up the IDE.

Can anyone suggest ways to increase the startup time?

Also my intuition is that the plugins are not x64 ready? So maybe I need to update the plugins but still it takes a lot of time.
When compiling to 64bit architecture I see that the plugins are being converted?

Anyway hope anyone has got some advice or recommendations.

You have a few very old plugins.

And for 64-bit, please use more up to date plugins.

Hi so I can download the new plugins from you site and test first?

5

you can download and try:

https://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/xojo/download.shtml

Free trial. Buy later if you need to deliver.

6

you may need to update the rbx plugin files. They can’t have 64-bit.

7

Isn’t esellerate dead?

8

yes.

then is necesary buy new ?

Depends on your license.
For Xojo 2017r1 you need a license valid for early 2017.
And for current plugins you need to have a current license.
