Scanning large amounts

[brhoughton]

Hi,

First I just wanted to say thank you for creating this program. Those of us that use OS X have been in need of something like this for a long time and what you've done so far is amazing.

The only issue I've come across is that when I scan large directories, if I'm not at my computer and moving my mouse around then the program seems to hangs. If there's an error (ie. can't connect to TMDB) it won't pop up letting me know unless I am moving my mouse around. So when I need to scan a directory of 100+ files, it's not an automated process that I can leave alone because unless I click "Ok" on the popup it will hang there.

Is there anything in the works to fix this?

Thanks again!

Hi there, and thank you for your interest!

Yes, this is sort of an odd issue... I suspect you're using the cocoa version? For some reason or another, the cocoa version seems to sort of... go to sleep if there's no general user input, and I haven't the foggiest as to why this happens, though one suspicion may be, since 'Cocoa' builds are still labeled 'experimental' in my development environment, so it could be just a bug with itself. Or I could have set something odd of course.

One solution would be to use the plain 'Intel' version instead, which I believe doesn't suffer from this very weird anomaly, at least until I figure this out.

I hope this helps.

With kind regards, Vidal van Bergen.

Thank you for the incredibly fast reply! Could you point me in the direction of the Intel version? Thank you!

Will the intel version fix the issue of the scanning coming to a halt when there's an error about not being able to connect to TMDB too? If not, is there a way to choose what scrapers are used? My biggest concern is just not being able to walk away from my computer for long periods of time because the scanning process stops when a popup happens.

Thanks again for all of your hard work on this project!

You can download the latest nightly 'intel' version from here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2s3f8uhh8jh1l0q/0seaBWnMqs

It probably would still come to a halt if there's an actual issue with the TMDB itself, however, since TMDB is actually fairly reliable, it should not pause midway like the cocoa version did, or at least much less likely.
