please get rid of 'saving database' message
« on: February 28, 2004, 05:13:42 am »

Hello,

At regular intervals, the message :

'please wait saving database...'

Appears in the middle of the screen for about 2-10 seconds (even if no music is being played !)

Which interrupts whatever I am doing...

Can you please get rid of this message ?
If this is not possible, can you then at least not show it if MC is minimized into the system tray ?

(also, during this 2-10 seconds, MC doesn't respond to play/etc. buttons )


Regards,

Marcel Houweling

Without the message, the program would appear to be frozen.

It only happens on very large databases.  

We plan to improve this in the next version.

ive recently started to get this message too. ive had the same number of files (20,000 odd) for 6 months and have only recently started seeing it pop up all the time. It used to occur only when i made big changes, but now it pops up in the middle of any old song.

Could it be the amount of lyric/chart/bio etc data ive downloaded into the system?

or

is it due to the more recent beta im using?

thanks

Yes, This Increses The Size of The Database, And Since A Small Change Will Re-Save The Database, There You Go.
