- milestone: 872635 --> v1.3
- status: open --> open-postponed
Currently, the menu bar is refreshed whenever a file is opened from disk. The performance will be worse when multiple files are opened at the same time. For each file menu bar would be refreshed.
Consider following alternatives:
a. In multiple files open, refresh the menu bar only once
b. Don’t update recent files list when a file is opened or close. When editor is started only at that time refresh the recent files list.
c. Refresh the recent files list in menu bar when a file is closed in editor. Also, apply optimization a when multiple files are closed at the same time.
d. Don’t refresh the entire menu bar, instead refresh a given menu and its children. This will be required for favorites as well.
