Also, "loop" seems to not working too

The only control that's causing an immediate hang on Linux as well is the full-screen toggle, so I've disabled it via CSS. The rest works fine here, though.

Stability issues are my major concern as well...

@Rene, with the last build r6908 slow load icons:

20:04:58.190: 7859 icons loaded
20:05:02.112: done (loading machine data from machine list cache, elapsed time = 00:04.651)

and full load for 6secs.
20:05:02.382: total start-up time: 00:06.104

with previous build i have total start-up time: 3,5-4 secs
i wanna speed
tnx

Yeah, something made things slower again... I'll have a look!

I meanwhile know what's causing it... I'm stressing the layout-system too much . Will be fixed soon.

SVN r6909 should be back to normal regarding loading performance!

BTW, if you want even more speed, try playing with the "machine list / responsiveness" parameter. Its default is 500 which means that the GUI is updated every 500 item insertions during reload. You can set that as high as 5000 or more if you like which will speed it up slightly (you can't use the GUI anyway during reload, so maybe that's an option). I win about 200ms (3.1 to 2.9 seconds total start-up time) going from 500 to 2000, greater values make no real difference here.

Many tnx Rene

Not sure if this is a bug or something I'm doing wrong.
Using Search on the list of machines doesn't seem to work. Instead of returning a filtered list of machines containing my search string (or even a unfiltered list of matches), QMC2 instead returns search results listing every single machine in MAME. This isn't very useful.
This is on on QMC2 0.55, Win7 x64.

That's the way the search function works, yes, it's not even meant to be a "filter" (other than showing the matches). It's useful for what it was made.

There will be a separate view that's a real filter, though (future).
