time out on pause updates

Post by harryray2 »

The pause updates (and pause indexing) is one of my favourite features, it solves a lot of problems for me but I've found that when I use it I invariably forget that I have used the pause function.

Possibly some sort of timer with a choice of times to reset to update again? ie. pause updates for ??? minutes?

Indexing properties (PAUSED) is shown in the status bar.

I will consider adding a reminder to unpause or an option to automatically unpause after a specified time.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks, I've never noticed the alerts in the status bar before...is it possible to have the alerts or the status bar somewhere else or even individually customise alerts to show in a pop up box?

I noticed a few options in the ini file.

status bar only for now.

I will consider an option to show reminders in an "info bar".
Thanks for the suggestion.

That's great, thank you. I think a time out would be best but a much more visible warning would do the trick as well.

Unfortunately the little status box in the right hand corner (for me anyway) is barely noticeable. I wonder if the ability to move the box would be a good idea?
