I think that the program should create the index either in the
background (separate thread or forked subprocess) or in another program. And that while the index is being created that the user should be able to do other things. (Except perhaps create another index!) Only when the index is done, should the optimize radio button and the delete button be present. During indexing the index button should be grayed out. I don't think it would be to hard to create a stand-alone indexer. But even in this, it should be in the background. Maybe I am missing something, but until there is a Unix client for the new Sword library that exposes/uses the index, is there much point having the indexes on Unix?

Also, I was curious is there a standalone unix program (or any platform, I have slackware 9 and win2k) that can create the indexes? I know for myself, I have my sword library stored on a unix machine, using samba, and would rather still be able to use sword during the time while it is attempting to create the index. Which for me, using the release candidate #3 was rather slow. I did not time how long it took for my computer to complete the process of making one index.Dan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dan Adams Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2005 4:22 PM To: 'SWORD Developers' Collaboration Forum' Subject: RE: [sword-devel] Indexes Thanks for the clarification.

I have noticed though that the time needed to open up a GenBooks module has gotten much faster.
