Search speed & scroll bar.

Post by Gogsy »

I'm a new user and I like Xnview, however there are two issues hopefully you could address:
1. Search speed. An initial search of my clip art collection takes almost a minute (i'm using dual core processor with 4GB RAM), subsequent searches are a lot quicker(I guess after having cached the directories). When I run the same search in Windows Search or Google Desktop the results are almost instantaneous. Is there any possibility of indexing files in the same way as Windows of Google or could you allow access to Windows search within Xnview and have the results displayed within Xnview. (Windows Explorer will not display wmf files hence my need for Xnview or another image viewer)
2. Scroll bar. I run a search which displays a number of results so I roll the scroll bar down to the bottom of the display list in the browser to check all the results. I then do another search and when the results screen up the scroll bar stays where it was previously, i.e. the view of the results of the new search do not start from the beginning of the list, I need to manually scroll up to view the first results of the search. Is this a known bug? Usually search results automatically display from the beginning and the scroll bar reverts to the top of the window.

Thanks for a great program.
