beta 43
With this beta I notice that the log entry for the DNS update request and reply no longer shows up. Is this now the expected behavior or is it a bug?
the update doesn't work anymore at all 8O
a strange bug, not exactly mine, fixed in next beta
+ show how long VFS loading took
I don't see this after the vfs is loaded. Where do I find it?
statusbar
+ new VFS format with compression
Yes, the vfs is now compressed. I haven't physically timed the loading of the compressed vfs but it seems to take a little longer to load than the regular vfs. Could this be because the vfs has to be uncompressed first before loading takes place? If this is the reason, why compress to begin with?
recently i noticed people managing huge VFS files, over 1MB.
compression ratio is sometimes 10:1, very high, so it makes sense with big files.
i now tested with a 750 items (medium-large) VFS and, all in cache, this is the result:
uncompressed 3.7 secs
compressed 3.8 secs
compression ratio 5:1
it seems to me that compression is worthy.
it may be a good idea to introduce compression only over 100 items, it is quite easy for me to implement.
+ you can abort loading VFS
Why would someone want to abort loading the vfs? I'm just curious as to the possible reasons why.
large VFSs take even minutes to load, taking 100% CPU.
in this time you may change your mind.
be careful with this new version, backup your VFS because the format has changed
As the VFS format has changed, and as there were previous vfs problems mentioned when adding a file to HFS using the shell feature when HFS wasn't running, will the new file added this way to HFS be added properly to the new vfs format? (I haven't tried it).
it should be fully compatible, the sentence was about possible bugs.
