The problem is that there are people who give lectures in universities with bad internet (internet is bad in most of the universities I tried) and they done want freezes. On the other hand we have people who sit in their offices with fast machines, fast internet and they want features. Until now we were looking at how to satisfy one of the groups and which one exactly. Why not to try finding a solution for both. For example we can have the plugging enabled by default and have Spotter measuring the time needed to do a query. Whenever the time surpasses frustration limit (10 sec? I duno) Spotter will ask if the user wants to turn off the plugin, of turns it of automatically and tells where to re-enable it. The other way would be to have known plugins to appear at the bottom of Spotter, and a user can install/enable them with one click. So when you search but there is nothing you know that there are more plugins that may solve your problem.
Yes it is more complicated to implement in in a smart way rather them just set the default boolean value of a setting, but we spend too much time anyway convincing the other side that we are right… Uko > On 6 Mar 2017, at 21:30, stepharong <[email protected]> wrote: > > One day I would like to invite you to give a lecture in a not that bad french > university > with a not that good network.
