Hi Stefan,
although I usually have currently no heavy problems with the cache ( despite
of the F5 update problem sometimes), I just got an idea:
Would it make sense, to add a little debug/status window to the cache, which
can be switched on for debug/monitoring purposes ? Could maybe done as tray
icon.
Probably useful information:
- crawler stats / current crawling dir per thread
- crawler status
- mem usage / cached items
- number of monitored working copies
- update events
Just guessing, I'm not familiar with the cache internals.
This was just a sudden idea, because there seem to be often problems (real
or not), but when you have no chance to see what is happening, you have to
do wild guesses. Such a monitoring window would maybe helpful (ifn't it
exists already somewhere, I didn't searched for).
Bye,
Florian
