color wheel

[françois]

hello,

I've got some trouble with metro.
Take a very long time to open, with a color wheel.
I'm now under lion.
could someone tell me how to repare that ?

[Jerm]

Does it only happen the first time you launch?

If yes, then perhaps you have too many plug-ins (or files in your plug-ins path).

In the previous version Metro would scan plug-ins on a different thread so the whole system would slow down but you could use Metro as long as you didn't do anything that involved a plug-in. We found this behavior more annoying than just waiting for all the plug-ins to scan.

[françois]

in fact, it does that each time I launch metro.
I would like to delete the metro prefs, but I can't remenber where they are....

username/library/preferences

[françois]

there is no : username/library/preferences with Lion

it's the case with 10.6.8, but not with 10.7.2.... strange.....


library/preferences is now at the top of my hardisk.....

[Jerm]

Library/Preferences is a different place.

Try this article about accessing User ~/Library Folder in OS X Lion.
.

hello jerm,
I deleted the prefs, but it's still too longer to open metro.... the color wheel is always here.....

could you help me please, because it's impossible now to work...
Thanks
François

You have to give me more details on what the problem is and how is it that it is impossible to work.

When Metro starts up it scans all of your plug-ins so that they show in the plug-ins window. When it is finished scanning everything should be very fast. No?

[Jerm]

Apparently others are having problems with Lion causing their machines to slow down.

[françois]

it appears that metro " don't answer "...
Would it be better for me to desinstall metro launch a new metro.... and map the news parameters ?

[Jerm]

Sorry I don't understand your question.

[françois]

I made a new metro install ( without any plug-in ) but it's still the same.
What can I do now ?

[Jerm]

The best thing to do now would be to explain the problem so that I can understand what is happening. If you explain clearly and precisely in French perhaps I can have it translated.

How can you make an install without any plug-ins? You can remove plug-ins from the plug-ins folders but that has nothing to do with installation.

[françois]

thanks jerm,

in fact, I have done a new install, delete the old prefs, and now it's ok... I can open metro easily...
