music stuttering when typing

Post by acdbx »

Default settings on 1.3.4.686 x64 on Win7.
With every letter I type in the search box, there is a tiny stutter with my streaming Pandora.com music. Fast ASCII search, search as you type are enabled.
This does not happen with 1.2.1.451a.

Any way to fix?

Everything uses multiple threads in Everything 1.3 or later. This can cause issues with other processes with the same priority.

If possible please raise the priority of Pandora.com music.

-or-

Limit the maximum thread count for Everything:
  • Exit Everything completely.
  • Open your %APPDATA%\Everything.ini
  • Change the following line:

    Code: Select all

    max_threads=0
    to:

    Code: Select all

    max_threads=1
  • Save changes to the Everything.ini and restart Everything.
Or ideally set max_threads to the number of CPUs on your system - 1.
For example if you have 8 CPUs, set max_threads to 7.

This is fixed after limiting maximum thread count. Thank you!
