Re: Development stopped?

[quote="supercilious"]That's not going to help. For example, the shutdown scripts run before the Windows Update mechanism patches files. The only way to do it with shutdown scripts is to delete the cache in the script, and re-create it in the start-up script. http://www.romexsoftware.com/b...

Re: Help with initial Cache setup of System wide Drives

The first time you read (the copy source location) something - it will not be in the cache.
The benefit only comes if you are reading it for a second time.

Thus - PrimoCache is not to speed up all transfers.
But it is to speed up transfers for things that are accessed more than once.

Re: Feature Request: Ramdisk Folder Migration

I like the idea. FYI you could do it also via Group Policy running a BAT script at Windows startup and Windows shutdown. The following REG script will register C:\OnStartup.bat and C:\OnShutdown.bat to run at startup and shutdown. And it will make them run asynchronously (Windows will wait for the B...

Re: zero cache hits in games

Is this a side effect of game programmers using FILE_FLAG_UNBUFFERED most of the time? I know that supposedly sidesteps the windows cache, but I'm not sure about Primo. It could be tested whether things read with FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING flag are still hitting PrimoCache by trying to copy a file repe...

Re: Write defer puzzle

So I need a permanent option, which can fix "No Write-Flush at Shutdown" even after restart. In FancyCache 0.80: 1. Enable the option "No Write-Flush at Shutdown" 2. Exit FancyCache admin screen so that it will save its options. 3. Open FancyCache admin screen again and click th...

Re: Write defer puzzle

However finally I realize that this option is almost a logical contradiction. As you know, suppose you enable the "No Write-Flush at Shutdown", once you restart the PC, all the changes will disapper, including this enable option! I think this is the reason why there is no such option in t...

Some UI Suggestions

http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/338/t07.gif 1. Add a menu with text entries. Having to remember what little pictures do for each app is such a hassle and I always prefer to turn off toolbars and use "text buttons" organized in menus instead which clearly state what they will do instead...

Re: Write defer puzzle

No, you can't. PrimoCache flush all write-data from cache to disk at shutdown/restart. Edit: found that FancyCache already had this option but was removed in PrimoCache?: Option "No Write-Flush at Shutdown" mentioned here - has it been removed from PrimoCache? My vote to bring it back, I ...
