slow loading with column (Length)

Post by valnuke »

Hello, I'm trying this program, it looks very cool.

I don't know if it's really a bug but in case of medium/large folders and custom column LENGTH, it takes a lot to load.
example: to load 56 movies in a folder it take almost 2 seconds on an i7-6850 with 32gb ram. it's way too much

i think that loading custom properties data (or any long task) should be set on worker/background thread, avoiding the "waiting" experience, like windows does and updating the main window as the results come in

keep up the good job
bye

Not possible, programming language restriction (no real threading)...

You could tag your movies with the length and get nearly instant results...

oh ok, I read the FAQ now. since the creator is clearly in love with VB6 I won't even ask if he's considering a rewrite in vb.net :) :) :biggrin:

anyway the tag idea could be pretty cool, if scripting supports it (= creating the tag value from the property value of a given folder)
