Bug? Cancel current sort keeps popping up until cancel the sort

Post by cal »

Cancel current sort
[ok] [wait]

I sort by dimension. When the app is processing sorting operations and it is taking longer than usual the app locks up and clicking anywhere will bring up that pop up. Clicking wait closes the pop up but it comes back up in 2 seconds, clicking wait again closes it but it comes back up again.

I think the processing is slowed or paused if that pops up and you ignore it but if you click wait it comes back up again right away. You have to cancel or force close the app to get rid of the loop.

This is expected.

This dialog is shown if you perform an action while Everything is busy.
Avoid clicking in the result list until the sort is complete.
Wait for Everything to finish sorting or cancel the sort.



You can set the popup delay under Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> cancel_delay.
However, Everything will appear frozen until the sort completes.



Include dimensions: in your search to gather dimension information during search time.
Sorting will then be instant.



Index dimensions under Tools -> Options -> Properties.
Enable fast sort for instant sorting.
