Inkscape Flatpak is very slow do things

I have about 70 apps all flatpak, inkscape is the only one I have issues with. It is slow to save a 780 mb file, switching tabs in the sidebar takes several seconds - the gui seems to freeze, and when saving this file several times a popup appears saying that inkscape is not responding.

What can I do to get better response times? Should I just use the .deb version? None of the other flatpaks have issues like this including gimp.

In case it matters:

  • Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
  • Wayland.
  • Intel® Core™ i7-14700 × 28
  • 32GB RAM (2 x DDR5 DIMM 5600MHz Corsair)
  • 1TB hard disc with over 400GB free (Samsung 990 PRO (NVMe PCIe 4.0))
  • AMD Radeon RX 7600 | 8GB GDDR6

I have flat seal installed but have never really used it as I don't know what all the settings do really and didn't want to make things worse.

I can use several apps at the same time, like OBS, handbrake, Kdenlive, Browser with videos playing and play games on steam all at once without any issues, but inkscape - even when the only app running - is slow to do everything. Small files don't exhibit these issues. 780MB doesn't seem that large to me.

How do you see what version of the desktop filen app you are using (linux)

Is there somewhere that tells you which version you are using?

Also when there is an upgrade available, no information is shown or linked to explaining what the update does. Maybe this could be changed in a future version?

Upgrading a plan

I currently have 500GB, if I buy a 2TB plan, will that change my existing plan? So that I just have one 2TB plan or would I have 2.5 TBs?

Assuming I have 2.5TBs, I guess I would need to cancel my first 500GB plan? What happens to the 500GB data in this case?

Would it be safe and be kept as I now would also have a 2TB plan? Or would everything be deleted when I end my 500GB plan? Assuming everything in my first plan would get deleted, is there some way to transfer files between plans?

Grouping/folders for syncs

Is there any plan to add grouping (1 level is fine for my needs) to different syncs. I have loads for different reasons:

  • Backup to cloud
  • Syncs of various folders that I pause form time-to-time
  • Clouds to computer for restoring data etc

I would really like some way of grouping them.

Upload speed for free acount

Is the upload speed for the free account throttled? https://docs.jottacloud.com/en/articles/1372744-jottacloud-terms-conditions mentions unlimited plans are but then in the same paragraph mentions personal plans, as if all personal plans that have over 5gb of data are throttled.

I am testing jotttacloud and another cloud storage system, and it uploaded the same files super fast even though I find most questions on reddit claim jotttacloud is faster. Could it be because I am using the free account?

I am trying to upload 52.9MB of small files. It took about 45 minutes to upload them. Is this normal for the free account? I have a total of just under 5GB on my free account after the files I was backing up finished. I was using the browser in both cases to do the uploading.

I see I can give people my referral link and get 10GB of storage if they use it (up to 30GB). What happens if they then close their account? Would I lose the additional 10GB of storage?

Is it OK to give away my referral links here? I don't know anyone who is using or wants to use filen at the moment.

In case it matters I have a 500GB yearly paid plan.

I have an ansible setup that I use on my devices and vms and it works.

I use ansible-pull not ansible-playbook in case it matters. Whenever I see anything to do with ansible on youtube ansible is outputting content to the terminal as each task completes. With my ansible setup it won't output anything until it either errors or basically all tasks are done.

If I interrupt and end the process in the terminal, ansible outputs where it got to all at once so it is not that it is doing nothing.

Is there some config for ansible that makes it output each and every task as it is being done?
