Session manager takes a lot of time to list sessions for a new zellij instance

[inmny]

I open alacritty with zellij. It is attached to an active session. But it takes too long to list sessions for Session Manager(about a minute).

It is normal for the instance which has searched sessions before.

Any more information needed?

Thanks for reporting this! I just noticed this myself. It's a bug in 0.39.1 that I'll make a patch for probably next week.

For now, to get around this you can increase the frequency of the session_serialization in the config. eg. session_serialization 1 will make it happen every 1 second and should solve this.

session_serialization true? It's the default value and it's boolean type. And I cannot find such a config item to increase the frequency of the session_serialization.

I attempted to set session_serialization 1. But it crashes Zellij with

 Failed to parse Zellij configuration

serialization_interval 1 - sorry, my bad

Sorry, I'm going to keep this open because while there is a workaround, this is still a bug.
