Remove CHDMAN Timeout #37

Open heymufti opened 9 months ago

heymufti commented 9 months ago

I have a 24 core CPU and NVME drive and this artificial timeout you're setting is killing jobs before they can complete. Even with 1 concurrent job only, let alone 3 by default. CHDMAN will quit on it's own on error with a code. Please remove it, or add an option to ignore it. Super frustrating.

setTimer, thread_timeout, % (TIMEOUT_SEC*1000)*3 ; Set timeout timer timeout time x2

I believe this is in milliseconds and you're only giving 3 seconds.

https://documentation.help/AutoHotKey-Functions/SetTimer.htm

"Creates or updates a timer using the absolute value of this parameter as the approximate number of milliseconds that must pass before the timer is executed."

The other issue I'm having is that I can't DO anything while this is running because it keeps taking window focus. I've had to refocus typing this a dozen times. Games will minimize or crash because namDHC is taking focus after every job.

I thought I was going 🤪 crazy! The timeout is killing me too.

Having the time out issue as well, i didn't use to have problems with chdman.

I ended downloading the latest version of 'chdman' as I wanted to use the 'createdvd' option in the command for some of my backups.

There is no way to select that option at the moment in this front end.
