| Summary | 0014854: Screen updates should be hidden during certain DB operations | ||||
| Description | Currently, if the user initiates certain DB operations on a large number of files, it results in regular (every 5s) screen updates that: - make using the affected view impossible because the position of tracks is changing every 5s - causes the A&D [Selected] dialog to continually flash as the "selected' track changes - dramatically slows the operation For example: Select 500 files in Video > Location > Folder and change the Type to 'TV' --> the screen flashes for x minutes as the operation gradually removes tracks from the view, making it impossible to use the view. I would suggest that it would make more sense in such cases to update the view after the operation has completed. A possible approach might be to: - update the screen every few seconds if the operation takes < 10 seconds. - update the screen at the end of the operation if the operation takes > 10 seconds, or if the user refreshes the view (e.g. F5 or switch views). Note: - this applies to operations triggered by using an MM tool (e.g. Properties, Auto-tag, Auto-organize, Scan, etc.). In cases where the user directly edits tracks in the view (e.g. select 50 files and press delete) the user would expect to see the operation occur live. - we experienced a similar issue with MM4 for cleaning the DB. Originally we displayed the operation live and it dramatically slowed performance. | ||||
