Desktop manager hangs

[New_User]

I am running windows 7. For the most part the windows manager works very well but after 3 or 4 edit updates has a tendency to hang with the message:

"done refreshing

connecting to gixen"

If you close the desktop manager, wait 5 seconds, and re-open it the issue clears. If you don't it remains hung indefinitely with the top buttons like add and edit greyed out.

I'll see what I can do to implement some sort of timeout, to avoid hanging. What kind of internet connection do you have? Is it possible that there are intermittent connectivity problems?

The desktop manager works just fine until you stress it out by changing the status of 3 or 4 bids in a short period. If you perform these same transactions over a 5 minute period then no problem is encountered.

I ran into a glitch where I was adjusting some items, the desktop manager hung, and by the time I had it re-connected I was sub 2 minutes on an auction and was frozen out. Now, don't get me wrong, this was a peculiar circumstance and I am cool with it. It was my own fault for low balling.

BTW is there a way to select multiple items on the manager list (shift doesn't work). This would be useful for a batch delete of expired auctions. Perhaps deleted items could be dumped to an archive log file (*.txt).
