Observations: tpdb8s database with build 3942
« on: 2014-09-23 08:13:27 »
It seems TP9 may behave differently each time it is started.  Does this have something to do with the way Thumbs9.ini is processed?

Sometimes the activity indicators are displayed on the status line and sometimes not.  The parameter is "ShowActIndicators=1".

The initial database entry is ...
"InitialDatabase=Database=D:\IMDBTP9\Thumbs9.tpdb8s;Driver={ThumbsPlus SQLite3 ODBC Driver};Timeout=5000;PRAGMA synchronous = OFF;PRAGMA journal_mode = OFF"

This is my take ...

Most times when the activity indicators are working, TP9 creates/maintains thumbnails very fast (i.e. the PRAGMA settings are observed).  Images are displayed very quickly without the windowing gyrations between each image.  Overall TP9 performance is very fast.  

Most times when the activity indicators are not working, TP9 creates thumbnails very slowly.  Images are displayed slower with windowing gyrations.  Overall TP9 performance seems slower.

Laura, any thoughts on this?
