Re: Making indexing optional ?

 

The folder contains 3118 ".txt" files, for a total of 2GB of data. Some large txt files are attachments. A long time ago I submitted a request to avoid indexing these. Not sure it has been fulfilled though.

Thank you,
mario

Can you indicate how big your notebook folder is? Either an extreme case, or some bug making it take much longer than needed.

    Thanks Jaap, I was not aware of this.

    To give you an idea, I just restarted Zim, and indexing kept a
    processor 100% busy for 13 minutes to come to an end.  It was nice
    if this could be avoided.

    Thank you,

    The indexing is not used for searching alone, it is also needed
    to e.g. present the page tree in the side pane and to track links

        Hello,

        I may be the only one, but with my quite large notebooks I do
        find the
        search function impractical, and for this reason I never use
        it. Still,
        when it starts, Zim goes crazy for a long time indexing, and
        I came to
        the conclusion that this is normal.

        If this is the case, I would like to file a requirement to
        add the
        ability to make indexing optional.

        Thank you,
        mario
