Action Point to the following:
I know it has been pointed out already,
but there needs to be an effective way to either shut down updating of
all sorts (indexing, library updates, etc), even if that means starting
over (though better if it can be continued later), or to have it run in a way that will release the system when it
is needed for something else (This would be something like the Option B,
Bob mentioned as a solution to the indexing problem).
----
I have been kindly asked by by wife to report this as a problem. (I know it has been reported before, but I now have a real life story to go with it.)
I turned on Libronix a few hours before my wife was to teach an online class (my mistake), with the intent to look at something and shut it down.
Turning it on started Updatating the library, indexing, etc. I shut down V4, but the little blue icon was still there with no way to shut it off (I can pause, but not shut off and it has been pointed out that pausing uses almost as many system resources as indexing). I then used task manager to shut it down (I thought).
Later, my wife started teaching her online class but none of the students could hear her clearly. We had to restart the computer (which on our netbook does take some time). The little blue icon was still running after a restart (good to know, but a problem in this case). I paused the indexing. Fortunately (and to my surprise) it did clear up enough resources for my wife to continue her class.
Fortunately my wife is an excellent teacher that the school doesn't
want to lose and they ended up apologizing for her needing to teach
later than usual and she has very patient students that waited and weren't upset.
