Huge improvement in Skrooge performance

Development
1

Hi,

I try to keep my Skrooge updated with the current development, so I download from git and recompile kind of frequently. I did it today again and last time I had done it before was on 2026-01-02.

I don’t know exactly what changes have been introduced between these two moments, but I see today Skrooge working much faster and more smoothly than it used to do before, at least for some time. I have a long history with Skrooge and have transactions file since 2004 (I have not used Skrooge for 22 years, but I imported all my old accounts) and it was taking long time lately to load the dashboard, or even to mark&reconciliate transactions. But after today’s update everything is doing much better.

Again, not sure what changes you introduced, but thank you very much, is working great!

Hi,

You can have this issue when Skrooge is not able to open the file.
Could you confirm that your file has a realistic size (not 0) ?
Most of the time the issue is due to packaging and wrong version of sqlcipher.

yes the file is larger than 0. . . .

how do you find the password ? is it stored somewhere ?

if there is one
