Clarification: Re: Speed of Book Creation in FM 7

["Jason Aiken" <jason.aiken@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, once you do that cleanup the first time I bet things should work somewhat better. Still, a toggle somewhere might be a nice feature request.

When I used to work on big UNIX books, I'd get much faster generate/update times with all the files opened up first using the "Open all" command. That was ages ago, and those books only grew. Of course, we're not talkin' 2070 files in one book.

If you just open a book file and run generate/update on it via the GUI, it seems to take forever until you realize all the stuff happening in the background.

Just responding without thinking or adding anything vastly important to the subject,

I think I should apologize for some of the Fire and Brimstone I've let loose
over FM7 and creating books.

It would seem that the only time that speed and productivity are hobbled is
during the initial creation of the book. I have a sinking feeling that some of
the delay may be my own fault as the files being added are 5.5.6 files and not
7. I will experiment with some files before I spout anything on the subject
again. Opening and manipulating the book after initial creation in FM7 does not
seem to be that bad.

While I have some remaining doubts, such as creating the book should not have
required 9+ hours, I have other red herrings to chase for the moment. Given the
improvements that are available through FM7 I am looking forward to moving to a
FM7 workflow. Perhaps I can update my wishlist at some point for FM8. ;-)
