I am using KiCad 9.0.x on the latest Kubuntu (an Ubuntu-based distribution with KDE). When I enable Git integration in kicad_common.json by setting "enableGit": true,, KiCad freezes for approximately 40 seconds every time I right-click on any file in the project file list.
Could you please advise on how I can trace this “freezing” issue so that I can provide useful information when reporting it? I searched forums and the internet for similar behavior but couldn’t find anything relevant.
I don’t want to create a vague issue in gitlab like, “Hey, my KiCad freezes when Git is enabled, and I right-click on a menu.” That feels like a dumb and useless complaint. Instead, I’d like to gather logs or other diagnostic information, but I’ve run out of ideas on how to do so.Is there a way to enable extensive logging for kicad ?
Could you confirm exactly which version you’re using? There were various git integration performance issues that were fixed for 9.0.1, which was released yesterday.
thank you! This removed the version popup submenu in the project files for me. And yes, I was probably playing around and set a wrong or non-working remote. I tried opening a new project in a new folder, and when I right-click in the project files, I see the menu pop up immediately, and it also offers the option to add to a remote. Thanks!
