[sword-devel] Indexes

[Dan Adams]

True, there is probably not much point in having the indexes on a unix
system, the reason why I do this is partly to do with some of the
study/website stuff I use the sword software for, it seems to help me to
have it on my unix machine.
 
I also agree whole heartedly with the idea of having the indexer be in a
separate process, that way those people who use sword for study as well as
helping to test it, can also use the program at the time.

I think that the program should create the index either in the background
(separate thread or forked subprocess)
or in another program. And that while the index is being created that the
user should be able to do other things.
(Except perhaps create another index!) Only when the index is done, should
the optimize radio button and the
delete button be present. During indexing the index button should be grayed
out.

I don't think it would be to hard to create a stand-alone indexer. But even
in this, it should be in the background.

Maybe I am missing something, but until there is a Unix client for the new
Sword library that exposes/uses the index,
is there much point having the indexes on Unix?

I assume the index thing this is referring to is like indexes on a database?

Also, I was curious is there a standalone unix program (or any platform, I

have slackware 9 and win2k) that can create the indexes? I know for myself,

I have my sword library stored on a unix machine, using samba, and would

rather still be able to use sword during the time while it is attempting to

create the index. Which for me, using the release candidate #3 was rather

slow. I did not time how long it took for my computer to complete the

process of making one index.

In the search window, below the search type box and above the scop box, 

there should be a button to create the index.

I realize this may be a dumb question, but how do we create the indexes? I

have noticed though that the time needed to open up a GenBooks module has

gotten much faster.
