I know the main goal of eboostr, and I try follow that goal. These are files that are usally in the background and are usally just read a few times anyways, or the ones I suggested are mostly. eBoostr ranks accessed files by number of times they read in the system. So if you have such files in cache it means they are accessed for reading often. (Warning its a "What If") True and not true. Take zip and "installing" programs for example. These programs are usally read only once and then are kept as back up, or sometimes are read a few times over and over for what ever reasons (reinstalling from corruptions, or as backup). In that case, they are not needed usally and just take up space. Also, alot of the things I suggested are quit big in sizes, and from what I know about flash. It's better to keep things small for its random I/Os given that HDD do have a higher sequentail I/O just a way slower random for smaller files. (Do note: I said they all are bigger; I mean most are usally big.) So the bottom line is: eBoostr adopts to your regular PC usage to optimize performance. You may prevent eBoostr from the best results playing with excudes lot. Just let eBoostr work. We are adding more smart staitistics in every release. Best said, I would edit my first post if I could to say this. Pluse anyways, these are just suggestions users could do if they wanted to. I never said eboostr should autoly exclude them or a user should. Zeioth: Not sure where the .ini file is anymore. Remember these are just suggestions and you should look at them to see if you have any of em in your cache befor you just start adding them to your exclude list. Also make sure thats what you want. Aka, graphics for example can be but are part of your program, so it be wise to keep em sometimes. Now loading images of your family, not as much, not usally or on "spurts" do you look at your images, then it be wise to go on and maybe have them excluded if they are in your cache. mikei on "Things you (the user) can exclude, list and ideas from other users on the fourm" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/things-you-the-user-can-exclude-list-and-ideas-from-other-users-on-the-fourm#post-558 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:16:54 +0000 mikei 558@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ Then you suggest to exclude files, remember the main eBoostr purpose - make your system faster and more responsive. eBoostr ranks accessed files by number of times they read in the system. So if you have such files in cache it means they are accessed for reading often. The latest version has more advanced rank logic. It uses load conditions at file access time and not incudes files read with low load conditions. Also there is "antispam" filter in system to protect from keeping all files due to antivirus and indexer reads. So the bottom line is: eBoostr adopts to your regular PC usage to optimize performance. You may prevent eBoostr from the best results playing with excudes lot. Excudes were added for two reasons: 1. Prevent from caching vital personal information like documents 2. Some race conditions connected with torrents and video. Just let eBoostr work. We are adding more smart staitistics in every release.

If fact, if you're using the English Language, you can even remove the entire \Lang folder. I've tried both of these methods and not experienced any problems. To prevent all those unused language files from being automatically cached by eBoostr, it seems to me that the eBoostr installer should prompt the user for the language he wants, then copy only that language file to the installation folder. It's wasteful of both cache memory and disk space to keep all those unused language files. mradr on "Things you (the user) can exclude, list and ideas from other users on the fourm" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/things-you-the-user-can-exclude-list-and-ideas-from-other-users-on-the-fourm#post-542 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:56:09 +0000 mradr 542@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ This is not a force on eboostr part, just a suggestion for user that have little cache space and or just wants to exlucde things from their list to make the current cache size smaller. I also suggested someone to just make a list, so here it is. Theres more on the fourm. I'm just to lazy to look atm.

But I'm a little confused about what this list actually is? Here is a list for Google Chrome <img src="http://pxve3w.blu.livefilestore.com/y1puT7bvEi8iwLp_g23nPvzlBe-0CC8uwXjCBcE0UhMetVwwdTTH6GVL3d0rPAlWbR0314NZLAI-XWHeDOFxK07rTS61JL1WH_e/google.PNG"> A lot of those files are completely unrelated. Could Andrey or someone explain what this list is? Robert Persons on "Cache Exclusions" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/cache-exclusions#post-375 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:05:03 +0000 Robert Persons 375@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ I added the catroot and catroot2 folders to the exclude list. But then I looked the cache statistics and found that PhotoShop was only 98% cached, and was surprised that it uses some files in the catroot directory (double click on the program path to get a list of all files that program uses). I took the catroots out of the exclude list, rebuilt the cache and then PhotoShop was then 100% cached. Since I use PhotoShop frequently this was better for me. I was surprised at how many files a program uses, and where they are located. Looking at this information might help people figure out which exlusions work best and which don't.

Try to delete the filestat.dat and your problem is resolved. :) mradr on "Cache Exclusions" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/cache-exclusions#post-340 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:52:10 +0000 mradr 340@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ But you cant make a file that works for everyone Awmueller, aka... In the exclusion.ini I put the most useless files and entire drives like > *.tmp, *.log, *.ini, *.psd, *.doc, *.jpg, c:\windows\temp ,d:, e:, f: ... but I don´t exclude program folders. I dont have a- d, e, or f... actully I have a c,t,k,b so that wont work on systems like mine. The only real way to do it is to have a simple add and delete screen thats either selection or text area. This way you can put in the ones you know not to be in there. The only real way to even have this work for others is to just make a forum thats... all that is... people that post things that they feel that they do not need to be in the cache. This way users like me can pick the ones I feel I dont need to be cache either, while others, like my images, are still cache cus you know, I like to look at images all day (for a example I really dont, music, but yea you get what I mean).

I use the eboostr cache in RAM around 1 GB and it´s great!!! But whit some work! First I exclude the filestat.dat in eboost alluser subfolder and check the exclude.ini. In the exclusion.ini I put the most useless files and entire drives like > *.tmp, *.log, *.ini, *.psd, *.doc, *.jpg, c:\windows\temp ,d:, e:, f: ... but I don´t exclude program folders. Then I open and close several times the most important programs or work some hours only whit this programs. After this exercise the filestat.dat have only the really important information and it´s ready to create a clean-small cache. Att.

Maybe more a general file mask like for music, images, vidoes. Not everyone going to have thos files and not everyone going to have a 64 bit system (aka thos files names) so you cant really give a default file exclude. Now they could make it more easy to exclude file by havign a windows pop up then select files or file types to be exclude or a more open text boxs so you can put in whats needs to be excluded faster but having a default setup like that wont really help. + What if I want my games and antivruis to be cache? I like to go fast seeing as I can setup 1.5g ram and a 4g usb. Now i'm not saying you could have a more open user one on the forum or something so others could see maybe what to exclude but having one all ready built in one sorta useless. chooky on "Cache Exclusions" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/cache-exclusions#post-137 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:40:57 +0000 chooky 137@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ Is there an advantage in having *.lnk files eg.

I have found that I need to exclude a lot of programs and folders that really don't require cacheing such as uninstall programs, utilities, benchmarks and windows update files. This allows more of the programs I want to be faster to be cached. May I suggest eBoostr installs with a default exclusion list. This would give users who don't tweak a better experience.
