[ 2.0 RC 2 bug] transfer suspended when...

Edison Lin · 08-09-2002, 09:52 AM

Hello!

Here is another minor bug, which acts on all available versions of FFXP.

Transfer will be suspended when user glides the slidebar of the log window ( lower-right window ) or the remote directory ( upper-right)
You will find the transfer rate decreased.

I am not sure if this can be defined as a bug.

Thanks

Edison

apparently this is a limitation due to the single-threaded design of flashfxp, and fixing this and an assortment of limitations will need a complete rewrite

That is very interesting, I have never noticed that before.

I'm not sure if this would qualify as a multi-threading issue as cynix suggested, I will investigate this issue and get back to you.

I have concluded that holding the scrollbar down for a period of time can slighlty effect the transfer speed.

I'm not entirely sure why this happens or if there is any way to prevent it.

maybe holding the slider thumb down results in tons of messages being sent to the window and u do lots of stuff in wndproc, taking up more time than usual so less time is available for transfering?

hmm yeah perhaps

My experience is that holding a slider (doesn't matter which one) will completely pause the transfer (an upload in my case) for as long as I keep the mouse button pressed.
