I have the Library browser set up per instructions from website. The following is about as good an explanation as I can come up with for now.

When I open the program the software keeps trying to update the library index at start-up regardless of whether "Update search index on start-up" is checked or unchecked (this happens when there are items installed into the library and show up in the browser window). However, if I have no library components installed and open the program the software does not try to update the index and immediately opens the main program window (when the index at start-up is unchecked). I can use the manual method to update the index at that time. However after doing that, same thing happens. When I close out and restart the program again the software will want to update the index before the main window opens up (with the index at start-up unchecked).

I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it again to no avail. It still does the same thing. Therefore I have to wait around 30 sec to 1 minute to wait for and update of the index depending on what I have in the library browser at any one time. Most times I open the program I don't need index updating as there are no new items to add to the library.

Can you try to close the library browser widget, then quit QCAD.
If you restart QCAD, is the library index still being updated?
Thanks.

Hello,

With the "Update search on start-up" still unchecked and the library browser widget previously selected I started QCAD and the library index update started before the main program window would start.

I then unchecked the Library Widget option so the library browser would not show in the main program window. I then exited out of the program.

I restarted the program and library index updating did not occur. It went straight into the main program window. And of course the library browser widget was not now available.
