Do we still need need Auto Pause in File Windows?

[Mario]

I've introduced this feature in IMatch 5, when computers were a lot slower than today.
Do we still need it?

Having a pause function for the File Window is helpful, e.g. when you work in the Category View.
You press Pause in the File Window when needed and un-pause when done.

But I don't think we still need auto pause for File Windows.
Let me know via the Poll above.

I submitted a "Yes" vote.  But, with that said, it's not the auto-pause that I use; It's the manual-pause that I use to effect a pause, if I'm about to click a folder/category that has over 100K files, for instance. 

[Mario]

Manual pause is very useful and will remain. It's all about the auto-pause in this poll.

[Darius1968]

In that case, I hereby change my vote to Nope, no need.

Will the filters always be updated whenever a change happens, or can there be situations when we need a "force update"?
I sometimws used it for that purpose

[Mario]

Under which condition does the File Window not update when you change something in the Filter Panel?
Please provide details and steps to reproduce.

I don't see why auto-pause would help with that. The pause button will remain, and pressing <F5> while the File Window is the active window (click into it!) also reloads the File Window.

No need for auto-pause on my side.

[Jingo]

Nope... even when loading my entire database of files, IMatch is quite fast enough to never need an auto-pause.  Congrats!

Auto pause is a general setting for me but it can be waived. As Mario confirmed manual pause remains.

[DigPeter]

I never use autopause
