I saw this also posted in the beta section.

Sometimes I close the IDE without allowing VA to finish parsing but now I haven't done it in some time and it still freezes. It also happens when I have two IDEs open.

Is becoming a real problem, I am thinking about uninstalling VA.
It takes 20 min+ to open my project, is big but not huge. It also slows down the computer...

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Can you open the Open Files in Workspace dialog and look at the title bar? This shows two numbers, the current number of visible files, and the total number of files.

I am curious as to how many files you have in your solution. 20+ minutes is a long time, unless you have a really large number of files. If your solution is very large then you may find turning off:

VA Options -> Performance -> Parse all files when opening a project

helps.

What anti-virus software are you running? I was talking to another user about a similar problem a couple of days ago and he found the problem went away entirely when he changed to a different anti-virus program.

Can you try closing one IDE, so you only have one IDE open, and then pressing the button:

VA Options -> Performance -> Rebuild symbol databases

and then restart the IDE. This will tell VA to reparse all of your library code, but unless some of these directory tree's are really massive this should not take to long.

Are you seeing any file specific problems? It is possible that VA's parser is just getting "stuck" on certain files, which is why parsing takes so long. If this was the problem you should see the IDE, and possibly your machine slow right down in certain problem files. The stable include directory:

C:\\Program Files\\lua-5.1\\src;

reminded me of this forum thread:

http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6463

where the user is seeing an odd effect with Lua libraries, but I was never able to reproduce the problem.

Hi

*It happens with only ONE IDE open* (MS VC++ 6)
The numbers are 1688 of 1688
Antivirus: CA eTrust Threat Management Agent v8

It happens with one file I notice it gets stuck there for long time when the machine slows down. Any advice about this?

Thanks in advance.
