Image loading blocking UI

[nselvapandian]

While rendering big size image, app got freezed because it's blocked the UI. It is possible to render images in background without blocking the UI?

Just had the exact same problem. App freezes quite some time...
And in the mean-time. Is there a way to disable inline images? (Better not showing them than having the app freeze)

Hey nselvapandian and georgbachmann,

We are aware of rendering that can block UI for the inline images and are still looking for a good way to fix the issue. Feel free to look into the issue and share your thoughts on how we can improve it.

In the meantime, you can actually remove/replace the InlineImageAttributedStringBlockBuilder by creating your own subclass of MarkDownConverterConfiguration and passing that to the MarkDownConverter.
An example of how you can pass your own configuration can be found in AdvancedMarkdownViewController

In short:

        let configuration = <your custom subclass>
       let converter = MarkDownConverter(configuration: configuration)
