- Created `CONSOLIDATED_DOCS.md` to serve as the primary documentation source, integrating user and developer guides, API references, and troubleshooting sections. - Updated `README.md` to reference the new consolidated documentation. - Preserved existing documentation files for backward compatibility, including `USER_GUIDE.md`, `DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md`, and others. - Enhanced navigation structure in `docs/README.md` to facilitate easier access to documentation. - Implemented UI flickering fixes, including auto-save optimizations, debounced filter updates, and efficient tree updates to improve user experience. - Added verification script `verify_docs_consolidation.py` to ensure successful documentation consolidation and integrity.

Test script to verify that UI flickering when scrolling has been reduced.
|
|
|
|
This script documents the specific improvements made to reduce UI flickering:
|
|
|
|
1. **Auto-save callback optimization**: Removed unnecessary data refresh from auto-save
|
|
2. **Debounced filter updates**: Added 300ms debouncing to search/filter changes
|
|
3. **Efficient tree updates**: Improved tree refresh with scroll position preservation
|
|
4. **Optimized scroll handling**: Enhanced scrollbar update logic to reduce frequency
|
|
5. **Batch operations**: Used update_idletasks for smoother UI updates
|
|
|
|
The changes should result in:
|
|
- Smoother scrolling without visible flicker
|
|
- Reduced CPU usage during scroll operations
|
|
- Better responsiveness when typing in search fields
|
|
- No more interruptions from auto-save during user interaction
