[snip remainder of long whinge about threads] Sounds, then, like I'd better eliminate threads from my app. In which case when the user initiates some action that may take some minutes to complete, he can just lump it when the GUI becomes unresponsive. That OK with you? Can I point the user your way when he gives me grief about it? Or should I just say that no, he can't have a responsive GUI under those conditions because some guy on the Internet says so? Well that ain't gonna happen. I'll just bring my 50 years experience of writing software to the table, including threaded apps for PDP-11s and VAXes. It's called debugging. -- Cheers -- Tim _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
