I can't imagine how you're getting such slow results. Any cookies
left?
If I'm quick enough I can press command-period and the find stops
before the next container. Does that not work for you? I have to be
really quick about pressing it, though, because otherwise the search
is all done.
Hi Mark,
Well, I'm not sure. It's possible that it's so slow because there is
some bug that causes it to be very slow -- maybe only on certain
platforms -- in version 2.5.X of Dreamcard.
It's also possible we're talking about two different things. There's
a scripted find command, which I believe finds field text only. I
think that's the same command as typing 'find "polydipsical"' into
the msg box. That command works almost instantaneously for me, even
in a pretty big stack with a large number of fields.
I'm talking about the find and replace window you get by typing
command-F. That worked hopelessly slow before I installed the patch,
and somewhat faster, but still quite slowly, afterwards. As I recall,
Jacque mentioned at some point that this feature works very, very
slowly. She didn't say why.
It's possible I didn't install the patch right, but that seems unlikely.
If I understand the other messages on this thread correctly, the
command-F find-and-replace feature in version 2.6 for the OS X might
be very fast. Maybe Chipp's patch only partly fixes the problem in
2.5. I don't quite know what to think at the moment.
I'm usually conservative about upgrades. I was going to wait for
several maintenance upgrades on 2.6.x, before I upgraded from 2.5.1.
Bad idea?
Cheers,
Tim
