New option to specify the 'interval' used by the 'Edit Metadata' Dropdown daemon
Version 1.0.16 -2016-04-16 New option to specify the 'interval' used by the 'Edit Metadata' Dropdown daemon.
This is the number of seconds that the daemon 'sleeps' before checking for a newly-created Edit Metadata dialog for which to increase the number of visible items to 100.
The minimum is 5 seconds, and the maximum is 10 seconds. The default is 8 seconds.
Whatever value was set when the daemon was 'started' is what it will use until it is 'stopped' and then 'started' again. The JS GUI Tools menu has the option to Start/Stop the daemon. If you have configured it to automatically start after Calibre starts, then you must manually stop it and restart it after you have changed the number of seconds to sleep. Or, wait until Calibre restarts as normal.
Personally, I use 10 seconds because I don't immediately start clicking as soon as the Edit Metadata dialogs appear. The 'average' lag time is 10/2 = 5 seconds, although it can be almost 0 or a full 10 seconds. If you are a 'fast clicker', then 10 is not for you.
The interval impacts how frequently the daemon consumes extra CPU to do what it does because it is 'awake' more often or less often.
