Speed of gif

[KillGabio]

Hi guys!

This is a very simple question. I have a QLabel with a QMovie that reproduces a .gif... The thing is that I dont know how to show it smoothly, I mean the gif shows perfectly but its like "stucking". I tried increasing the speed but that doesnt change anything...here is my code:

@ int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
LoadingWidget *loadwidg = new LoadingWidget ();
loadwidg->show ();
qApp->processEvents ();
QApplication::setStyle (new IconSize ());
QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath (".");
MainWindow mainWin;
ajustarPreferenciasVentanaPrincipal (&mainWin);
//----------------------------------------------------------
//-----------------CONTROLADOR------------------------------
//----------------------------------------------------------
//some not interesting code
//----------------------------------------------------------
//-----------------FIN CONTROLADOR--------------------------
//----------------------------------------------------------
if (handler >= 0 && aux ==0 && capacidad >0){
mainWin.setHandler (handler);
loadwidg->~LoadingWidget ();
mainWin.show();
return a.exec();
}else{
if (capacidad == 0){
QMessageBox::critical (0, QString ("NO MORE REGISTERS TO STORE DATA"), QString ("No quedan más registros para guardar información fiscal\n\nNo se podrá realizar ninguna operación\nrelacionada con el controlador."), QMessageBox::Ok);
}else QMessageBox::information (0, QString ("NO FISCAL PRINTER"),QString ("No se ha encontrado el controlador fiscal\nconectado, no se podrá facturar"));
mainWin.setHandler (-1);
mainWin.show ();
loadwidg->~LoadingWidget ();
return a.exec ();
}
}@

Thank you all in advance... Maybe its my slow computer, maybe its something i cant change...BTW QSplash window does not work for me, its not a solution :P

Anything less than 40 ms should be okay.
Otherwise, gifs are pretty slow, so it might be computer ;).
Can you upload a test gif to see the result?

thats the gif..I think it is more than 40ms...The thing is that I think that the load of the main is delaying the gif

[Jake007]

Try creating a separate thread for doing all the loading, and in the main thread display only gif ( all in loadingWidget).
Otherwise, the delay is exactly 40ms, and it runs smoothly if I open it normally.

I`ll try that approach

Hi i think im having some problems understanding how to use the threads to my benefit....

I`ve changed my main like this:

@#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QObject>
#include "waitthread.h"
#include "loadthread.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QApplication::setStyle (new IconSize ());

LoadThread * load_thread = new LoadThread ();
WaitThread * wait_thread = new WaitThread ();

QObject::connect (load_thread, SIGNAL(load_finished()), wait_thread, SLOT(loading_finished()));

load_thread->start ();
wait_thread->start ();

return a.exec ();

}@

the loadthread.cpp:

@LoadThread::LoadThread()
{
mainWin = new MainWindow ();
}

void LoadThread::run (){
//--------------------do some stuff
emit load_finished ();
mainWin->show ();
}@

And the waitThread.cpp
@#include "waitthread.h"

WaitThread::WaitThread()
{
loadwidg = new LoadingWidget ();
loadwidg->show ();
}

void WaitThread::run (){
}

void WaitThread::loading_finished (){
loadwidg->close ();
delete loadwidg;
this->terminate ();
}
@

Somehow..the mainWin doesnt show and the loadingwidget neither

--------EDIT
My bad loadingWidget is shown.

----EDIT 2

found my first mistake the mainWin must be shown in a different method otherwise the thread finishes when run finishes
