The following issues have been raised with version 1.2.1 of Keyword Transformer. Note that thes e issues affect both the personal and professional editions of the software.
- It is possible to get to the stage where Keyword Transformer appears to have locked up; it ceases to update the screen, and it is identified by the system as not responding. Under these circumstances, it is normally still working on a long list that you have entered. Somebody used Keyword Transformer to convert an input list of 10,000 phrases into broad match, phrase match and exact match variations, so the output was 30,000 phrases; this worked, although it did take half an hour. If you want to be sure that Keyword Transformer 1.2.1 is still running, please do not cover the program window with any other windows while it’s running.
Technically, this is happening because the current design is single-threaded. It’s quite easy to fix by making the application multi-threaded.
- It is still the case that it takes inordinately longer to process a long list than it does a short list. As reported before, this is due to the duplicate detection code being somewhat inefficient at the present moment in time. Again, it’s relatively easy to solve.
If you find any other issues, please add comments to this post. Thank you.
