Processing commands super slow

On Friday, after I was done recording a keyword script, the Processing Commands message was shown for over an hour and still did not create the script. Today, I recorded only a couple clicks but the ...

    "Turning off extended find" for Mapped Objects that already have it on is not something that TestComplete can do.  Because Extended Find "collapses" the object tree, turning it off for any single mapped object means you need to go in and map those ancestor objects and re-organize your mapping around it.  It does take elbow grease to do it manually... OR, your other option is to delete all your mapped objects and remap them.  Either way, it's going to take work to turn off the object for your mapped objects.

It is possible that the "Extended Find" is already checked on a number of objects and TestComplete is getting "lost" in navigating what component belongs to what.

 

Just as a test to this theory, create a new, empty project and try the same record with those options turned off and see if the problem persists.

That worked but now how do I fix it in my other projects? Is there a way to turn off "Extended Find" over the whole project suite?

        Yeah, sorry... I'm actually in the same boat myself.  We've had performance issues in test execution because of our prior extensive use of Extended Find as well as there have been many object identification issues where the wrong objects are being associated with parent objects due to ambiguous "Extended Find" usage.  We still use Extended Find... it is a very useful feature for situations where the page is too dynamic for a static mapping... but we are a lot more circumspect these days.  In the meantime, we have a LOT of objects to remap (deleting and recreating is not an option for us) so, whenever we have time, I am head down with Object Spy and NameMapping open, making changes.
