How to Know For Sure Indexing is Over
I know indexing takes a "very long time" and I also know when it finishes, that v.4 open and the tune plays.
Is that the only official way I can know that my cpu has finished indexing? I know the little icon appears in the tray and disappears. But those two ways do not seem too scientific or totally reliable. I am really uncomfortable with my computer just doing things and me in the dark as to what, when, if. Right now, I open v. 4 and it shows that I have Beta 2 installed, but I know that indexing crashed on me very early on and never finished. So Beta 2 is installed? Kind of but indexing is not over so is it really totally installed? Thanks for bearing with me as I process all of this.

The indexer is smart enough to restart indexing if it never finished however this does not happen right away, sometimes it can take 20 minutes for it to realize this. Recently on my computer this happened and Logos4 just launched and I had no indexer, I thought I was stuck and would have to find a way to manually make it re-index, however shortly the indexer just popped up on its own. But thanks for the feedback, I agree with you, we will try to make the program give the user more feedback about what it is doing.

George,
Thanks! One more thing, I just re-started my computer, hoping and waiting for index to re-start and I found that my desktop icon (blue Logos logo) that installed with version 4 is no longer present. Gone. Sorry to keep bringing minor issues your way.

Joan,
it should re-appear.
I stopped my download today and just fired logos back up when I got home; twice I did it and after a few minutes...up it came.

It tends to do that inbetween updates and is a known issue.

Yikes! Last night indexing was down to a few hundred resources left and I had to turn off my laptop and hit pause indexing for 4 hours. There is no pause indexing for 8 or 12 hours, is there? I started my computer this am and it began indexing and said I had over 800 resources left. Why is it re-indexing what it already indexed? The use of my cpu is maxed out during indexing and I really don't want to add any other processes to it because I want it to finish.
Plus, if it is indexing, how do I know if v.4 is running Beta 2 yet or not? When indexing is over then will all my resources be actually in a beta 2 "mode"? IOW, will I get different results from using v. 4 now vs. when indexing is over? Thanks for your help
I just realized that maybe by hitting the pause for 4 hours button when really I needed it to pause for over 8 hours, I made it re-index repeatedly??

Hi we will consider those options, in fact I requested a management system that would give the user more flexibility of updates and the indexer in general, however when you "Pause" indexing, it is expecting to pick up where it left off, by shutting down your computer you effectively closed it unexpectedly and this is another issue we are examining, how to get the indexer to pick up where it left off. So shutting down is a big no-no when the indexer is not done yet. Pause should work fine if your computer was on overnight.
