Title: [WD] Display number of files in file window if auto paused
Post by: stzari on November 24, 2016, 12:23:08 PM
Hi,

I frequently run into the auto pause feature of the file window.
Though the message states that the auto pause threshold was reached (1000 in my case), it would be very helpful if the number of files in the current selection could also be displayed.

TIA

IMatch stops processing internally when the threshold is reached. It may not even know how many files will be in your selection.

Thanks Mario for consideration.

My thoughts were that the files were collected first and after that added to the window, in which case adding a number to the output should have been easy.

I used the file window threshold to shortcut evaluations. No need to further load data from the database when the threshold has already been exceeded. There are some cases where this can reduce the response time by 90%. For other cases, the full selection is build before the threshold is considered (because it would make no difference).

IMatch Anywhere uses the individually (per user) configured thresholds to decide whether or not pre-load or cache results in-memory. Of course thresholds are usually set lower in an environment where web browsers are used to access IMatch. Especially when connected over slow or mobile networks.
