"Suspend While Working" timer

[Djobydjoba]

Hi Mark,

I've noticed that the option "Suspend While Working" to delay an automatic retrieve when working on Fund Manager is not very effective. I find that the timer is set too tight (maybe 20-30 secondes), and I would prefer a timer of 2-3 minutes. Or maybe this could be an option. When you are working on FM you can have some breaks of a few seconds while considering you're still working on it. The short timer is stressful when you are working on it.

Hi Djobydjoba,

Okay, thanks for the feedback, this might be something for another registry only option...

Hi Djobydjoba,

It turns out this is already adjustable through a previously un-documented registry only option. The default is 60 seconds. This 60 second delay is user-adjustable through a registry only preference at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\CurrentVersion\Internet Retr

with a string valued named "idlesec" set to the desired number of seconds. This preference should already be present in the registry, and is read at program startup, so make the change while FM is not running. We'll add this to the documentation.

Nice, thanks!
