Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2005 9:53 am Post subject: If Enabling/Disabling Large # of Items Takes A Long Time |
|
|
This is not a bug - more of an epiphany on my part. I wanted to share my recent enlightenment in case others were having a similar problem.
I had commented -- in a previous message -- that whenever I had to disable all the items in a folder (or several folders), that this operation required a lot of time to complete.
Turns out that I just hadn't realized the consequences of an earlier decision. To make sure I never lost any changes to my config, I had checked the option to "Auto save TestList after any changes" (This is found under Options | Preferences | Autosave options.)
If this option is left unchecked, enabling/disabling of a large # of items happens very quickly. Now, I'll normally leave this item checked -- so I don't have to think about saving the config. However, when I need to enable or disable a large number of items at once, I first uncheck this box, go do what I need to do, then save the config and lastly re-enable the check box.
Problem solved. |

Thanks Alex. Like I said, I don't really think of this as a bug per se - after all, HM was doing exactly what I had told it to do. I just hadn't considered all the consequences of my actions.
If you think you could improve this, then that would be great -- but now that I understand what is happening, it is a very easy problem to avoid.
I guess what I'm saying is that if this is an easy fix, great, but if a major investment of your time is required, I certainly don't consider this an 'urgent' issue.
Regards, Tim |
