Memory returns slowly… I take back what I said about eof maybe working for serial ports. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t. When I did this before I was taking data from 2 incoming asynchronous serial ports, one then the other then repeat. They only had tiny buffers, so I had to read small pieces of d

Jerry, that simple tweak worked to improve the performance of the UI a great deal.. its a slower method of loading...but not too slow to use as background loading. ...Its actually better than what I expected. Awesome. I always love to use the forever loop. its just so fun to write

Dar, Yes...I understand.it is a blocking operation no matter what I can just introduce breaks in the blockiness. So I'm not expecting a socket like experience for sure. Those are very good suggestions to try thank you. Jerry, I will give that a try, it looks promising.even a little

Hi Tom, I’ve done this in the past watching it instead of the result. I seem to remember eof was not useful. Maybe for a serial port it would be? As in: repeat forever read from file ThisFile for (1024 * 1000) bytes if it is empty then exit repeat — do your stuff wait 0 with messages end

Alas, only read from socket allows a message to be sent upon completion. The step siblings read from file, read from process and read from driver do not. Here are a few things you might do: 1. Try making the file loading very fast and don't do it in the background. Change the cursor if need be.

If you need to notarize a Mac app, this thing is a marvel. I was nervous about getting through Apple's new requirements for app distribution but Notarization Helper is as simple as it gets. I'd used AppWrapper in the past, but the new notarization and stapling process isn't included there yet,
