Hi,

Since I updated to PV 5.5, launching ParaView from the Visual Studio 2017 debugger now takes about 2 minutes. My build is configured to x64, RelWithDebInfo. Right now, I have configured my startup project to launch “Paraview”, and as soon as I press on “Start”, all “[…]Hierarchy” projects are triggered by the check. Is this normal?

Correct me if I’m unclear.

Thank you!

Patrick

There was a report of Hierarchy commands being run unnecessarily. This should be fixed with the new module system (due by the end of the year to `master` at least). If you use `ninja`, the output of `ninja -d explain` can show why it thinks it needs to rerun the targets (VS may also have this information, but I don’t know how to get it).
