Title: please get rid of 'saving database' message
Post by: mhwlng 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.

Yeah, I understand that, but can't you then at least not show it if MC is minimized into the system tray ?

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.

They Are Updating The Recently Played Data, This Info Is Saved To The Database.
