When do Smart Groups Totals Update?

Wondering why the totals displayed next to your Smart Groups don’t update instantly?

Basically a smart group can have criteria for any attribute of a flight, and so ANY change to a flight could effect ANY group. This would mean that inorder to keep them up-to-date in real time every group would have to be re-calculated every time you changed ANY value on ANY flight. It takes an average of 200 milliseconds per group. By default there’s 56 groups, that means you’d be looking at an 11 second pause every time you changed a value and tabbed to a new field.

Group totals are all updated every time you open the logbook so your currency numbers will be up to date.

(Updates at startup occur approximately one every second so that you can keep using LogTen Pro while they’re updating. This means your totals should all be accurate within about a minute.)

At some point I will develop a batching and multi-threading mechanism that will track the fact you made changes, queue them up, and then update the groups totals in the background when you’re idle.
