1. What is the problem? Be very detailed. ODK Briefcase v1.17.0 is very slow to open: 65 sec on a Windows 10 computer (vs 6 sec for v1.4.4 Production), 115 sec on a Windows 7 computer (vs 15 sec for v1.4.4 Production). I would like to use new features in v1.17.0, but it takes an unreasonable amount …

Thanks for reporting this issue, @Hayden_Boyd ! Could you give an estimate of the number of forms and submissions you're dealing with? Also, could you describe the forms so that we can get a rough idea of their size in fields, or maybe if they have binary attachments for pictures, or sound/video rec…

Thanks for your speedy reply, @ggalmazor ! The slow opening issue occurs independent of any forms or submissions. In other words, it's slow to open when you just click on the .jar file. The few times I've tested pull and export with small test forms, it appears to work normally once it opens. It i…

Thank you so much, @Hayden_Boyd ! Now I think I need to know a little more about the computers you're using for testing this. Could you describe both environments, please? I'm sorry to have to ask annoying obvious questions but, both computers have similar hard-disk drives? Are there any network-mou…

Aside from the info in #2 of my original post, I would add that neither computer has a network-mounted directory. Everything is slower on the older Win 7 computer, as expected, but v1.17.0 opens too slowly even on the more powerful Win 10 computer. The problem with v1.17.0 occurred with a new inst…

Sorry, I forgot about #2! It should be much faster on Win10 with an SSD, that's for sure. Do you see any difference between double clicking the jar file and launching it using PowerShell/command line? I'm sorry to ask about the environment again, but your environment is pretty much the same we us…

Hi @Hayden_Boyd , Can you locate the briefcase log file? Sharing it with @ggalmazor may provide better insights.

Hi @dicksonsamwel - Can you please advise me how to locate the Briefcase log file. Or, if action is needed to enable generating such a file, how can I do that?

Hi @ggalmazor , Just wanted to share my experience on this, I started using v1.17.0 when it was out and the delay I experience before it launches is about 6 seconds. I currently have one form with about 1000 submissions. Am using Thinkpad X1 with win 10, Processor, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @…

You can locate the briefcase log file in the same location with the jar file. You should see a text file with the name "briefcase.log"

@mmarciniak90 and @kkrawczyk123 Is this a regression you can reproduce?
