Recompile with only a .mif change in Q2 V10.1sp1 way slower than Q2v9.1.

[Altera_Forum]

Moving my project from Q2 v9.1 to V10.1,sp1, I noticed that when I only change a single .mif file in my project folder & re-compile, it takes over 9 minutes. 

  In Q2 v9.1, the 'status utility window' would instantly jump to 100% on 'Analysis & Synthesis', and 'Fitter', a new column called 'Hex-Mif Updater' would open up, and within 30 seconds or so, it would be updated & re-assembled & my programming files for my Cyclone 3 project would now include the new .mif within them.   I use this feature quite a lot & do not want to be stuck on Quartus 9, is there a quick way within Quartus 10 to update the mif file. The menu option 'Processing/Update Memory Initialization File' seems to start the process, but, the programming files are not updated like when I did the re-compile in Quartus 9.   Thx, BG.

To update the programming files after a MIF change in Quartus you can do the following: 

 1. Processing -> Update Memory Initialization File 2. Processing -> Start -> Start Assembler

Thanks Kevin, it worked. 

 I should have though of doing it the manual way. I'm just so used to hitting the hotkey 'Ctrl-L' for compile and expecting QII the figure out the rest.
