Disable GUI Updates for faster document loading

Post by p-friedrich »

Hi,

I just started fiddling with FreeCADs scripting interface and have a question regarding the openDocument() function. I have written a script, that opens multiple different documents (*.fcstd files). This takes a considerable amount of time the more documents I want to load. Apart from that, it causes quite a lot of GUI actions.

Is there a way to load documents in the background? Without any GUI activity?

I hope this describes my problem well enough. If not, please feel free to ask.


Best regards,
p-friedrich
