Action

  1. Ran the Beta and let it index
  2. went to bed
  3. woke - Indexer in the systray inicated that indexing was still taking place. No numbers given, but just being indexed.
  4. I shut down the program
  5. indexing icon emained in systray indicating indexing taking place
  6. Sign in and then L4 restarted.
  7. Systray icon indicated it was downloading updates.
  8. installed updtes
  9. restarted and signed in
  10. indexing began from the beginning

Expected:

I would expect that either the indexer would not allow updates until it finished indexing after the beta, or that it would allow the update, pick up where it left off, and incorporate upated resources.

Sys:

vista home premium sp2, duo core 3ghz, 3bgb RAM, x600 radeon

Mac Pro 13 Retina 8GB, 256 flash

    Yup, it needs a bit more intelligence! Like a software update FIRST checking that resource updates will be coming.

    I had a similar problem with the last beta... 

    Agree with Dave - no indexing should begin until all updates are downloaded and installed

    Agreed.

    1. Indexing is a good thing.  I like it.
    2. Indexing is resource intensive and demands a start to finish operation more or less in one shot.
    3. Anything that interupts the indexing seems to set it back to 0.
    4. Therefore the program should do everything else first before indexing.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.
