Retry Search of Zero

[Matthew Lye]

search/GUI coders:

A minor problem that's been niggling at me for a while:  I find  
myself dealing with searches that have had their 'Retry Search every'  
value changed to 0.

While some stopped searches have the default 'Retry Search every'  
value, others have a value of 0.
In such a case, the value is not reset to the default when the search  
is restarted.

I believe that this may happen when a search has expired while GTKG  
was running;  I am not sure that such searches appear as  'grayed  
out' until the next launch.

I suspect that a failure to notice the '0' of a grayed out search is  
the reason that I sometimes come across an active search with a  
'Retry Search every' value.  (Under such circumstances, the search  
will be performed only once;  so it just looks like there were very  
few hits.)

However, it sometimes feels like the search is reverting to the '0'  
value on these searches whenever GTKG is launched.

- Matt.

Have any of your searches a ReissueTimeout other than 3600 in
~/.gtk-gnutella/searches.xml?

Ah.  Should have thought to ask myself.  My default reissue timeout  
is set to 1800.

'ReissueTimeout' refers to the value in the search.xml file.
'Retry search' refers to the valued displayed by the GUI.

Of the 62 Enabled="0" searches, 40 had a ReissueTimeout of 0 and 22  
had a ReissueTimeout of 1800.
Of the 157 Enabled="1" searches, 5 had a ReissueTimeout of 0 and 152  
had a ReissueTimeout of 1800.

(These values were all obtained independently of one another via  
'grep -Ec'.)

The 5 enabled searches with no reissue timeout had nothing remarkable  
in common.  They all had a lifetime of 336, but that's standard for  
my searches.

I changed the Retry search value of one of the 'live' five searches  
with a zeroed ReissueTimeout, and observed the following:
1)  Upon a numeral keystroke within the 'Retry search' box. the '0'  
was immediately replaced by the correct default value.  This was true  
of several numerals, not just the '1' of '1800'.

2)  The change persisted in ReissueTimeout after GTKG was quit and  
relaunched, and was correctly reflected in the 'Retry search' box.

The Retry search value of the 'grayed out' searches are accessible.  
I  changed one with a value of '0' to '1800';  the change was instant  
and persistent as in (1) & (2) above.

- Matt.
