Am I reading this right, that every 7 days all Chandler users will
have
to confirm a dialog (or reject and get that dialog the next day)?
Yes, this is a 'courtesy'. The alternative is have chandler block
the UI once a week for doing a compact for a few minutes to a bit
more (on Esther's repository of 6500 versions, it ran in 3.5 hours).
In other words, if your repository got so big as to cause a lot of
disk access when iterated to be compacted, your CPU usage goes down
to 10% (or less) and your HDD usage goes to 100%. On a laptop, this
can be v e r y s l o w.
I certainly understand how the functionality of compaction will be a
benefit to end-users. Just not too psyched at the UI aspects.
Has all
the charm of a recurring Windows systray security popup.

Andi..
I would hope that this dialog requires zero interaction -- no "Okay"
button or anything. Just a "Cancel" in case you don't want to do it
now? So it runs and closes itself?
