WDS 3.0 Beta 2- Rebuilding index by itself and more

Hey Guys, Brandon pointed this as the right place to post some concerns/issues with the WDS 3.0 beta 2

Few issues with WDS 3.0 beta 2:

- When adding a new file extension to be indexed, WDS prompts to full rebuild of the index. This is a very bad behaviour especially, like me that has more than 100,000 indexable items. (anyway to avoid that )

- The WDS is rebuilding the index itself without any user intervention

- The current pdf I-filter are not capable to index within the pfd files.

- The configuration GUI interface still very rough, clearly need some refining.

That's it for now.

Thanks,

Marcus

Thanks Paul.

If you need I can send you a copy of the .xlsx files that are not being indexed. Please let me know if you are interested. Actually it's easy to reproduce if you have an .xlsx spreadsheet that contains a ODBC database connection.

Also I have windows Vista installed on my system and I faced the very same issue.

If you click cancel when you get that prompt for a rebuild after modifying a file extension, the file extension change gets saved and the index doesn't get rebuilt.

I think this is a bug.

I found some issues while indexing... Some Excell 2007 files (.xlsx) or not being indexed properly either....

I will probably have to go back to WDS 2.6.5 :-(

Thanks. I noticed that afterwards.

It's certainly a bug. I've reinstalled the WD3B2 and the self rebuit has stopped.

Marcus,

We have testers working on these issues as I type. I appreciate your offer to let us use your .xlsx files, but I think we've been able to repro with our own data. Hopefully you won't mind if I contact you in the event that something changes.

Thanks again,

I'll repost in this thread to let you know if/when bugs are filed and resolved.

Thank you very much for the feedback. Please be assured that I am compiling it for the development team right now. I'm especially interested in the problem you are having with our .xlsx files. Let me see what I can find.
