improved in 0.85 beta1 (10-Mar-2017)
OS: Windows 7 Pro, x64
Description:
When searching using the catalog, there is sometimes no indication of completion.
Effect:
User keeps waiting for something to happen.
To Reproduce:
- Find a folder with a significant number of subfolders and files (we need a long search to demonstrate the issue)
- Make sure files have been catalogued
- select folder and choose menu Tools->search
- Set up:
- filename: blank
- Regexp: off
- Match "Any" (or "All" - Does not matter with single condition)
- case sensitive: on
- Use catalog: on
- Recurse: on
- Add a single condition, such as XMP:Description is: "the" . Just give anything that generates more than 10 files with matches.
- Press "Search"
Program gives interim updates at multiples of 11 files, but any beyond 10 are hidden below the default starting window.
The "Files Found: (nn)" field is updated occasionally.
The title line of the status window shows "Searching".
When the program finishes, it writes "Finished...", however this is written by default below the list of files and is not visible unless the user has manually scrolled.
Expected behaviour:
1. The Windows title should not keep saying searching
2. An obvious change should be made to the display to catch the users attention.
Other notes:
In V0.85 beta 1, the windows title has been fixed to remove "searching" and shows total files found.
The first few times i tested this version I did not notice it, so I think it could be improved by placing the same text on the line underneath the "pathname" - perhaps with "finished" in bold, or upper case.
