New Thread for sorting and searching

Open CityguyUSA opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

I just spent an hour sorting one folder at which time Firefox crapped out for whatever reason. Scrapbook should do its hard work (sorting and searching) in a separate thread so Firefox can continue to operate. This is usually not a big deal just a different way of starting a process. In Linux you @spawn a command to have it run on it's own without tying up the instantiating process.

If an operation is allowed during a sort, the user may do some change to ScrapBook, which could cause an unexpected result due to the interference. We will keep the current behavior until we have a solution to disable only ScrapBook operation (while enable other Firefox operations) during a sort.

We probably are not going to change this as it would be more work than implementing e10s support. Consider migrate to the successor WebScrapBook, which has native support of multi-processing and should solve the issue.
