Hi, Is there a way to make smart groups a little lazy?
I find smart groups extremely useful for organizing my bibliography. However, it seems that they cause BibDesk to slow down quite a bit. Previous discussions have also suggested smart groups may affect performance. http://n2.nabble.com/scaling---performance-td1090694.html#none In my case, when changing a publication's fields or adding a linked file, I count an even 10 seconds of beach-ball hypnosis. This happens with: 97 smart groups 950 publications >= 2 ghz dual-core cpu After making a backup file and then erasing all of my smart groups, these operations are instantaneous! So, my question is whether there is a way to make smart groups less diligent in terms of updating their contents after every edit. I would be happy if I could trigger this update myself ... "Ok smart groups, show us your beach-ball magic". Many thanks to the developers and group discussants!
