If you rename pictures in the Gallery View of a Set for pics, you have to wait about two seconds after each single character you type.
My Set has about 300 pics and is sorted for “Last modified date”.
The problem seems to be, that Anytype renews something in all Objects that use the actual pic, and that it also renews the sorting after each single character.
All that costs time.
The solution would be that Anytype does all these things only if the editing is finish.
How To Reproduce It
Open a Set for pictures in Gallery View.
Rename a pic. Try to type in normal speed (that means: fast speed). Strange things will happen.
You need to type veeeery slooooow to avoid the strange things.
The Expected Behavior
I want to type in normal (fast) speed.
I don’t want to wait two seconds after each single character.

60 pics minimum.
The effect becomes worse if I click on “Show 60 more Objects”.
As written in the start post, I have about 300 pics in this Set.
Yesterday I have clicked multiple times on “Show 60 more Objects”.
The more Objects are shown, the bigger the problem becomes.
thanks for opening this issue. Another strange thing is:
the preview pictures are loading very slow in the thumbnails
As long as the pictures are loading you can open any card and the picture will not be shown in the opened object… even if it was already visible in the thumbnails
as soon as all the thumbnails are loaded in the background the image in the opened object will appear
I made a gallery in a set from all my pictures in Anytype which are now around 1630…
The first few times when I hit “Show 60 more Objects” the objects load very fast. After 1-3 times it then starts to get really slow and the behaviour mentioned above starts.
Update:
When I make a list view I can not see the pictures at all when I open an object. Maybe because it is loading so long in the background?
Update 2:
The same thing happens when I scroll down all the way in the new “All Objects” Widget in the “Media” Tab. It seems that Anytype wants to preload a certain amount of pictures in the background before it fully loads the opened object.
Once everything (or a certain amount of objects) is loaded in the background it works smoothly again from my point of view.
It’s now much better in v0.42.38-beta
But the effect still exists. Not only while typing fast, but also if one deletes multiple characters in a fast way.
Meanwhile I have experienced the issue also for a pic that’s embedded in a Page.
If I right click in the Page on the picture and open it as Object to edit it’s name, the same effects happen.
I needed about six tries to get the name correctly edited.
… But these effects don’t happen always: when I started my screen recorder to document the problem, it suddenly worked without a flaw. :-/
I tried it even with a completely new picture in the same Page, but it still didn’t happen again.
But we can conclude that in case of a Page the sorting of a Set can’t be the problem, right?
Or does maybe the sorting work in background?
Because a pic that’s pasted into a Page appears also in the Set for pictures (and I have there the sorting on again).
No it must be a different problem but I do not know which one yet, you can at least make a video of the flow so I can think of how it can be affected by updates.
