Multiple Movies Editor crashing PVD

[ouafouaf]

Hello.

For my use, I often need to select a few films and hit the edit button to use the multiple movies editor.
Sometimes, when I do so, after the editor opens, the program freeze. I cannot click anywhere, nor can I close the editor. I have no other choice but ctrl alt sup.

I use the latest stable version (0.9.9.14), Im running windows XP.
It happens quite randomly, the number of film selected for edition doesnt matter.
I tend to wait a bit before I click the edit button, but it still freezes sometimes, maybe one out of 10 times.

Anyone got the same problem ?

Also, my computer is quite old (Athlon 2000+, 1Gb DDR), but Im still a little upset with the performances. It takes up to 2 or 3 seconds to change from a film page to another, and even more to switch from normal mode to edit mode. Why is that ?
It's a shame really, because otherwise PVD is EXCELLENT, and I say that after having tried loads of similar programs.

Anyway, if one can help me deal with that bug ? Thanks a lot !

I haven't had this problem, but then, I only use the multiple-movie editor infrequently, and then only on three or four movies at a time. Does it freeze as soon as the editor opens, or when you click on one of the fields?

I have an Athlon XP 2600+, 2GB DDR, and it can get a little slow at times. But then, I have a nearly-500MB database with thousands of movies and people, and tons of pictures embedded in it. How big is YOUR database? 

My biggest performance issue with PVD is that the info pages for some actors will scroll really, really slowly when I try to scroll through them (the actor records in question have LONG biographies, might have something to do with it).

Having recently upgraded from a computer of similar vintage, I'd say both problems are due to the age of the computer. The time switching between records and modes sounds exactly like my experience. I don't recall the MME causing an apparent freeze, but there were a number of operations that would cause that behaviour. Rarely, if ever, is the program/computer actually frozen—it's just taking a very long time to do something. On my current machine, it takes about 1 second per 100 records for MME to load. That's relatively slow, suggesting there's a lot of work involved. But since I rarely edit 100's of movies at a time, I'm unlikely to notice. On my old machine, I might have to go on a coffee break to allow a large number of movies to load. I don't know why it should take so long for just a few movies, but the computer is still the most likely suspect. Maybe the 1 in 10 times you have a problem is when it runs out of memory in the middle of the operation.
