Very happy to see v2.1 in beta. I'm you'll beta 31 on macos 10.13.4.

First bug to report: QRecall sometimes has troubles deleting items from an archive, taking a long time waiting for the archive to close. (screenshot 1)

The dialog would say "complete" if I wait long enough, but it won't go away, and the "Stop" button would be grayed out and unclickable. (screenshot 2)

When that happens, QR has to be force-quit.

I've run into the problem numerous times with two different archives, so it doesn't seem to be archive-specific. I've deleted items from both archives successfully as well, so it seems random to me so far.

A report has been sent.

edit: the forum is acting funny and the 2nd attachment is shown on top.

Welcome aboard!

First bug to report: QRecall sometimes has troubles deleting items from an archive, taking a long time waiting for the archive to close. (screenshot 1)

Actually, it's waiting to open the archive. QRecall thinks that some other process might be using the archive and is waiting for it to stop. Sometimes, particularly if a process is on another computer, it can be hard to tell and QRecall will cautiously wait about 10 minutes before proceeding. If everything is working perfectly, this shouldn't happen as the last process should mark the archive as "not busy." Hopefully the report will have some clues.

The dialog would say "complete" if I wait long enough, but it won't go away, and the "Stop" button would be grayed out and unclickable. (screenshot 2)

This is a known bug that I'm still investigating. Basically, the QRecall application loses its connection with the command process at the last moment and gets stuck in a dialog because (a) it can't tell the command to stop and (b) it hasn't gotten a message from the command that says it's finished. Again, your report (and reports from others) should help figure this out.

I've run into the problem numerous times with two different archives, so it doesn't seem to be archive-specific. I've deleted items from both archives successfully as well, so it seems random to me so far.

You are correct, it is not archive specific, or even command specific; this can happen with any command.

A report has been sent.

Thanks.
