Question

2018 inspector takes forever to open, what can I do?


Badge

After I've run a workspace with FME 2018, the inspector takes like forever to start. Anything from several minutes to forget-about-it.

For compability reasons, I have multiple FME installations at my windows 7 corporate PC (which is a pretty hardcore piece of a machine (32gb ram, ssd, plenty of processing power) - if this machine can't run it, nothing can). No issues so far - except that the 2018 inspector will either give up completely or take minutes to show the data I've piped into it.

FME 2017 and older seems to work fine.

Unless a lot of other people are complaining, I guess there must be something fishy with my setup. Any ideas welcome.

For what it's worth, on my pc the 2018 Data Inspector is as quick as the 2017 one.

First thing I would try is re-install FME 2018 and see if the problem persists.

Weird. Everything's back to normal behaviour. (And yes, I did restart my computer before asking).

As always, we fall back to the default for this kind of funky behavior: Blame it on Windows.
