Build 293 seems very, very stable: no more crashes on startup. I'm really happy of my purchase.
Some minor problems, however, which were not present in build 289: has anyone else noticed them?
1: if a number is included in the search field the result seems not always consistent. I was looking for an opus 57 track, and I've searched for "op 57" and then for "57 op" ( both times without quotes), obtaining two different search results. I've tried several times, using the same operands "57 op" but getting slightly different results (71 tracks, or 72, or 74 or 76... of course I had not changed my library in the meanwhile). I've also tried to include 57 in quotes, but the result was still not constant. Even adding spaces at the end of the search operand sometimes changes the result. I've never noticed such a problem with alphanumeric operands.
It seems more frequent if a track is playing (I'm not sure).
Is it a bug or I'm missing something? If I have an erratic system I'd like to know! However the problem was not present in build 289 (I've tried to reproduce it without success) and happens, with b 293, even on my wife's pc.
2: if you select several tracks and then right click for properties, the "Gathering file information" counter stops for a long time somewhere between track 10 and track 20, and remains frozen until gathering is complete. During the same time, if a track is playing, it's time counter freezes as well, and restarts counting when gathering file information ends. The Windows monitor shows that the Cpu is completely saturated during that time interval.
Even this problem was not present in build 289.
Thanks for your attention
