3 minute delay before starting a manual sort #100

Hi Eric! I hope you are staying healthy.

What is the purpose of the 3 minute delay before ASB begins a manual sort?

Is it still necessary/advised?

eric-bixby commented 4 years ago

It only waits for activity to stop before sorting. It shouldn’t be 3 minutes unless you have something like a bookmark sync causing it.

Sorry, I'm confused. What's the function of the timer with a 3 minute minimum if it's just waiting for activity to stop?

(BTW, I thought I had to wait about 6 minutes for it to start, and I don't have sync enabled.)

eric-bixby commented 4 years ago

The minimum is 3 seconds, not minutes.

eric-bixby commented 4 years ago

The purpose is to determine that the user is no longer making changes (inactivity) because there could be corruption if sorting and user changed happen at the same time.

Thanks so much Eric. I appreciate your help.
