Known issues

  • Immense memory consumptionIf you open immense files, you get immense memory consumption. That’s logic. Usually, Xournal++ Mobile takes twice the file size plus around 50MB for itself.
  • But why does it take twice the memory?: No idea.
  • The snap does not start on Linux when using waylandPlease set the environment variable DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 before you start Xournal++ Mobile.
