Day 12 update:
Twelve days after initial download and launch, the Anytxt programme is STILL processing files on my PC drives.
<b>STILL </b>no GREEN TICK but instead displays pulsating ‘doing something’ bars in top right corner of programme window – per screenshot below:
(a) Despite (as on Day 1, and still now as at Day 12), the ‘File Index Manager’ showing status as ‘Finish’ [sic, (should be ‘Finished’)] and for ALL file types (see screenshot).
(b) AND despite seemingly plateaued data file sizes for respective drives (per my June 20 post).
<b>(c) BUT logical in at least one aspect</b> – the PDF file count shown via ‘Index Manager Rules’ has still been creeping up:
Day 1 7/8/9? 10 12
15,760 15,810 15,813 15,819
If the programme is STILL indexing/processing files, its ‘Index Manager Rules’ window should NOT show ‘Finish’ [sic] for unprocessed/unindexed (i.e. unFINISHED) files/file-types.
Hence my SUGGESTION 5 (per previous post). The essence of that suggestion is to show users actual ‘Indexing Status’ in terms of X files done of Y files present, or X files ‘Processed’ or ‘Indexed’ of Y files ‘Total’. Such functionality seems of fundamental importance now. Such status could be reflected – for respective file types – possibly with an additional column in the ‘Index Manager Rules’. Its current layout gives an ambiguous ‘Count’ column. It may be deemed ‘ambiguous’ because a ‘Count’ could be of files processed, or of files present/total, or possibly even something else. Given that, in my case, the Count for pdf files is creeping up, one would have to assume that the Count is of ‘processed files’ and not of ‘total files’. But perhaps that assumption is also wrong, as was my initial one that the ‘Count’ appeared to be of ‘total files’ given that the Status column had/has been showing ‘Finish’ [sic], and for each file type (including PDFs – for which the Count continues to rise), for days.
Only if X = Y for a given file type should the ‘Index Manager Rules’ show that file type’s status as ‘Finished’.
The status for any file type whose status is X < Y should be shown as ‘Pending’, or as appropriate*.
The actual status with my situation/PC as at Day 12 after programme launch, which includes about 9 days straight now with both the PC and the programme running 24/7, is ‘Pending’ despite the ‘Index Manager Rules’ window stating ‘Finish’ [sic].
I have no idea, from within the Anytxt programme itself, (as would be the case for all other users of the current version where the Indexing Status is in question):
(1) how many file types are still yet to be processed,
(2) how many files of a given file type, are still yet to be processed,
(3) which specific files have not yet been processed,
(4) nor, therefore, whether their absence from the results fields may matter for certain text-searches,
(5) *nor whether certain (e.g. textless) files may simply be unable to be indexed, i.e. fall under a third ‘Count’ possibility – unprocessable/unindexable or ‘require the OCR version of the programme’, etc.
