Logic Pro 7: Waveform overviews are always created in the background

In Logic 7, waveform overviews are always created as a background process. In earlier versions, this process could be sped up by double-clicking the overview calculation Progress window. Although page 356 in the Logic Pro Reference Manual indicates that you can double-click the Progress window and then click Finish to move the process into the foreground, this is not the case in Logic Pro 7.0.

However, this ability returns in Logic Pro 7.1. The overview creation progress dialog now has a check box labeled "Faster overview creation (may affect Logic's performance)." Checking this box will bring the overview creation process to the foreground, significantly speeding it up. If you are performing other operations in Logic while doing this, those operations may be affected, as they will have a lower priority than the creation of the overview.
