Since indexing automatically slows down the computer, I would like to suggest on the next software update to give us an option to schedule the indexing to a time we may not be working with the computer.

Thank you for your help and for all you do!

    Typically indexing will only occur after new resources have been added to your library. You can control when those are downloaded. You can also schedule when updates are downloaded in the program settings. You can also pause indexing by clicking the application icon in the system tray.

    Right now, there's only the 'redneck' scheduling option. You can download the updates, but don't install them until (say) you are going to bed for the night. Then do the install and let the indexing run while you are snoozing.

    I agree that a schedule clock to run the index would be nice, but probably not as important as some other fixes right now.
