The date and alphanumeric toolbars still activate a refresh too often, which makes filtering operations way slow.

(This depends on the size of the DB, of course, but, all DB will grow in time, that's for sure.)

 

Refresh is activated...

1- When tollbars are closed....  even if i don't want it (e.g.... because I intend to do other filter modifications (sorting, filter text box, etc.).

2- When buttons are licked on a toolbar (e.g. selecting a date, a time frame, a letter...): everytime I change something in the date or alphanumeric toolbar (except for the text box), I need to wait. So if I make a mistake, I have to wait for the refresh (a few seconds, maybe 7-10), and then correct my mistake.

 

 

Suggestion : add an option for auto refresh or not for all filters toolbars, or turn it off completely. It's too cumbersome to use otherwise.

[BTW : this option should also exist for the quick search dialog : it's very slow in my DB, and so "search as you type" is a bit of a hindrance and slows everything down.]

 

 

 

Very often, I'll enter something in one of the various text box :

A- filter text box

B- Alphanumeric text box

C- Date Textbox

 

And then, without pressing "enter" (so that I don't have to wait for an n^th refresh), I'll click in another filter text box... Then the content of the previous text box will deleted or replaced by the past entry.

 

There are a few exceptions, and it would be a bit long to enumerate all conditions,

 

Suggestion : I think that whatever is entered in a text box should stay there, whether it was "reinforced" by a refresh or not.

 

 

Opinions please... Thanks.
