View in parallel with the search

[rxyzzy]

I know that it was working before: If you are in the middle of the "Find Files" you could click on one of the found files from the list while the search was still going on and then click F3 to view that file before the main search ended. This features seems to be gone now in TC 6.01. TC beeps on F3 and ignores the view request while searching. Is this a new bug?

Thanks, Robert

Should work fine. Are you sure the view didn't change that fast that you accidentally clicked on a dir and pressed F3?

Yes, I'm pretty sure. It was a long search that took minutes and minutes. I know that it worked before. Maybe some of the viewer plugins made it fail. It actually beeps when I try F3 while it is searching.

Works fine here... just tried a search for all *.ini on C:\ and kept looking at random found ones using F3 and it works... Sorry, don't know what might be wrong. Maybe access rights or something...?

Hi Roman!
¤ That works too at home under Win 98 SE (French, more bugged generally...)
¤ The same under XP-Pro, that works with F3 while the Search is running still.
I've admin rights in this XP-Pro.

It doesn't work when searching in archives, because most unpackers aren't thread-safe, so searching an archive and at the same time extracting a file for viewing could cause TC to crash.

That's it! I was looking through the Java JAR files which really are ZIPs and then it didn't work and even gave a beep warning. Now when I tried with just the ordinary files it worked OK as before.

Thanks Chrirs\tian for the clarification!
