The help window doubles as this.. The one piece missing is that the searches are merely removed from the available list and are still loaded with the toolbar.. This is a long needed design change.
> 3) snappy performance
This directly relates to #2 above... Right now it simply takes too much time/cpu to load 300+ searches..
I quite agree. I'm using a twin 3GHz Xeon, which is probably as fast as any computer running DQSD, and the menu is still irritatingly (or embarrassingly) slow. The vast flickery tool tips are also a pain. (And I wrote much of the code for them!) Personally, I never use the menu any more, which means that I use only the tiny number of functions that I knew about a couple of years ago.
TBH, I think DQSD needs a serious refactor/restructure, but I suspect that it's now so nearly 'good enough' that all the original developers have lost interest in improving it. (This certainly applies to me - I worked on it while it had problems which really irritated me, and for a period afterwards when I was still interested in doing the bits no-one else seemed to be able to get to work.)
That's free software for you...
