Settings.ini

By Andrey Zarudnev | December 29th, 2008 | 5:07 pm

This file is used to fine tune the eBoostr and usually there is no need to create/edit it. Please make changes only if you have some problems or issues.

Here goes an example of a file with all parameters available:

; eBoostr config file
[eBoostr]
maxfilesize=10000000
showpartitions=1
MinIdleValue=80
;StatPath="e:\"

maxfilesize parameter is used to limit the size of the file that eBoostr will cache. The value is given in bytes.

showpartitions parameter enabled allows you to select the desired partition for the RAM cache storage. By default it goes to the same disk/partition where your Windows system installed (usually “C:”.)

MinIdleValue is the new parameter added in the recent 482 build. This value is used to determine the “idle” state used to automatically update the cache contents (rebuild). Less value will ignore your background (or foreground) activity and start the rebuild.

StatPath sets the folder to store eBoostr statistics database (filestat.dat) May be used in case you have a low disk space on system disk.

“;” is used for comments.

Please note, in order for all the value changes to take effect, you should stop the eBoostr service, update the values and start the service again.

    Forgot to mention. This file should be created in the following folder:
    (on XP and 2000) “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\eBoostr\”
    (on Vista) “C:\Users\All Users\eBoostr\”
