Don’t quite understand what you’re asking, but maybe this will help: In all cases below, step 1 happens on the main thread and you have to wait for it to finish before the UI will respond. Steps 2 and up happen in the background and signal the UI to redraw if there’s anything worth changing. Build 4000 1. Show the file’s icon 2. Try to load the Quick Look preview 3. Show the Quick Look preview if it exists Build 4001 1. Show the type’s icon 2. Try to load the Quick Look preview 3. Show the Quick Look preview if it exists 4. If not, show the file’s icon Build 4002 1. Show the type’s icon 2. Show the file’s icon 3. Try to load the Quick Look preview 4. Show the Quick Look preview if it exists So with 4000 and 4002, most people will see the file’s icon right away, followed shortly by the QL preview. The difference in 4002 is, for people with slow or sleeping disks, they will see the type’s icon initially and they won’t be frozen out while the file’s icon loads. (In 4001, step 2 took a long time, and some people could see a big delay before getting to step 4, which used to seem fast.) -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
