(No) implicit figure recognition for library phrases without figures

I already mailed Andre about a situation where Synfire seemingly freezes.

During the following workflow Synfire does a figure recognition without informing the user thereof or letting him/her choose whether (and how) to perform the figure recognition:

  1. Import a MIDI file without figure recognition (creates instrument tracks with take vectors, without figure vectors)
  2. Place an instrument track of the imported file in a library (creates a library phrase with take vector, without figure vector)
  3. Open the library phrase, e.g. double-click (performs a figure recognition without notifying the user, no console  window gets shown, no nothing. Seemingly freezes on complex material)

I therefore suggest a configuration item on how to proceed with library phrases containing no figure vector (leave it alone, recognize as static pitch, default recognition [the current behaviour], ask). Also the console window should pop up if the calculation takes more than four seconds.

What do you think?
