Hi I used 3.6.4 today and noticed the following: - No more crashes. I used cacheLibrary -1, 0 and 1 and it always started up. - Strangely, with cacheLibrary=1 it didn't start any faster than with cacheLibrary=0. I did rough timing by starting "time kew radiohead" and hitting q all the time so it would quit asap. The library is 1.8 MB. Right now it seems that there is no startup speed improvement. alex@subterraneobombus ~> grep cache ~/.config/kew/kewrc # Cache: Set to 1 to use cache of the music library directory tree for faster startup times. cacheLibrary=1 alex@subterraneobombus ~> ls -lh .config/kew total 1.9M -rw-rw-r-- 1 alex alex 0 Nov 18 15:33 error.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 alex alex 1.8M Dec 7 12:22 kewlibrary -rw-rw-r-- 1 alex alex 4.3K Dec 7 12:22 kewrc -rw-rw-r-- 1 alex alex 4.3K Nov 18 15:29 kewrc~ -rw-rw-r-- 1 alex alex 12K Dec 7 12:22 lastPlaylist.m3u drwxr-xr-x 2 alex alex 4.0K Nov 18 15:10 themes/ alex@subterraneobombus ~> time kew radiohead ________________________________________________________ Executed in 8.12 secs fish external usr time 6.14 secs 2.64 millis 6.14 secs sys time 1.07 secs 0.64 millis 1.07 secs alex@subterraneobombus ~> time kew radiohead ________________________________________________________ Executed in 8.53 secs fish external usr time 6.15 secs 1.70 millis 6.15 secs sys time 1.05 secs 0.41 millis 1.05 secs alex@subterraneobombus ~> sed -i~ 's/cacheLibrary=1/cacheLibrary=0/' ~/.config/kew/kewrc alex@subterraneobombus ~> time kew radiohead ________________________________________________________ Executed in 7.61 secs fish external usr time 6.18 secs 37.84 millis 6.14 secs sys time 0.91 secs 25.13 millis 0.89 secs alex@subterraneobombus ~> time kew radiohead ________________________________________________________ Executed in 7.40 secs fish external usr time 5.88 secs 0.00 millis 5.88 secs sys time 1.07 secs 2.96 millis 1.06 secs alex@subterraneobombus ~> grep cache ~/.config/kew/kewrc # Cache: Set to 1 to use cache of the music library directory tree for faster startup times. cacheLibrary=0
