At the point of opening a folder view, there is no reason to open multiple windows at all IMHO. Instead, no matter how *many* messages are marked, opening them should only result in a single folder opening with the focus on the currently selected message and, perhaps, the same list of messages still marked. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.

Re: TB opens thousands of messages
At Wednesday, January 03, 2001, 11:32:29 PM, Peter mashed together a mail: PH - click on one of the previously marked messages. The "normal" PH behaviour in a windows environment is to UNselect all messages at PH this time. TB does not unselect anything. Not confirmed: clicking a message makes it the only selected one, unselecting all others. PH - now doubleclick on any of these messages. TB is going to open ALL PH selected messages (2500 in my case). The process is NOT interuptable. PH - the only way to stop TB from running wild is to use W2Ks taskmanager PH and kill the task. I strongly believe that this will cause a W98 PH system to crash at once. Confirmed, but in some other way. 1) select over 100 messages 2) aim at your keypad's "Del" key, but hit the gray "Enter" by mistake 3) now Bat! opens 100 new windows, completely eating all resources and making W98nonSE hang My solution is that Bat! should warn the user if they're trying to open more than 30 messages at once, like, "WARNING! Opening this many messages might crash your system! Do you really know what you're doing?" PH Solution: Stop opening the messages if the user presses ESC - and close PH all previously opened messages, if he presses ESC twice while TB is PH reading the messages. And this would be a nice addition, too. -- "How do I set my phaser to 'tickle'?" |\ /| \~~~/ \~~~/ WWW: http://maxxx.ii.com.pl | \/ | /\ \~/ E-M: [EMAIL PROTECTED] || /__\ /___\ /_\ /___\ ICQ: 3146019 -- -- View the TBBETA archive at http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double-click HERE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBBETA, double-click HERE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Hello MaXxX, On Thu, 4 Jan 2001 07:05:09 +0100GMT (04/01/2001, 14:05 +0800GMT), MaXxX wrote: PH - click on one of the previously marked messages.

M Not confirmed: clicking a message makes it the only selected one, unselecting M all others. I confirm that I cannot confirm this. Clicking on one message after having selected "many" will indeed unselect "many", and only the one last clicked is selected. M Confirmed, but in some other way.

Instead, after well over ten, maybe twenty, messages were opened, TB crashed (not Windows) and it was reported that THEBAT caused a GPF in module "unkown" at :02aa6e1d. (What does TB do in : anyway?) I hit the C button, what choice did I have, thus closing TB. Then I restarted TB, and no problem; no need to even restart Windows. M My solution is that Bat! should warn the user if they're trying to open more M than 30 messages at once, like, "WARNING! Opening this many messages might M crash your system! Do you really know what you're doing?" If he hits NO, it means he doesn't know what he's doing, so the command will be cancelled. If he hits YES, he knows what he is doing, so a pop-up window should say "Crashing System" with an OK? button to hit. A cancel button will not be necessary, as that would be boring. PH Solution: Stop opening the messages if the user presses ESC - and close PH all previously opened messages, if he presses ESC twice while TB is PH reading the messages. M And this would be a nice addition, too. While I have never mistakenly opened "too many" messages, I do agree that the process should be cancelable, very much like purge, where this option is also missing. -- Cheers, Thomas.
