Known issues
- Immense memory consumption: If 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. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- The snap does not start on Linux when using wayland: Please set the environment variable
DISABLE_WAYLAND=1before you start Xournal++ Mobile.
