True, there is
probably not much point in having the indexes on a unix system, the reason why I
do this is partly to do with some of the study/website stuff I use the sword
software for, it seems to help me to have it on my unix
machine.
I also agree whole
heartedly with the idea of having the indexer be in a separate process, that way
those people who use sword for study as well as helping to test it, can also use
the program at the time.

-----Original Message----- I think that the program should create
the index either in the background (separate thread or forked subprocess)From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DM Smith Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2005 5:22 PM To: SWORD Developers' Collaboration Forum Subject: Re: [sword-devel] Indexes 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? Dan Adams wrote: I assume the index thing this is referring to is like indexes on a database? 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.
