The cache caches… everything?

By Ethaniel | October 5th, 2007 | 6:56 pm

I have seen some inconsistencies in the cache, for example, files that I haven’t used in a while. I have also seen an mp3 file (why would anyone want to add an mp3 file to the cache?), part of an image mounted in Daemon Tools, the last restore point I made, and the installer (not the program in my C drive) of WinRAR that I keep in my secondary drive. I fail to see how those files can benefit from the cache, if I use them only from time to time. I believe there should be a “purge cache” function to clean the cache from any useless cached file (like an mp3).

    All files that are placed into the cache file are reported to be accessed by your system. Yes, probably the first one created is not very accurate, but after some use and more statistics gathered eBoostr will update its contents.

    i often use mp3 files… will eboostr take my favourite mp3s to the cache? 8gb should not be enough!! :-)

    Please check the BETA 3. An additional priority was added to system files and applications. This will probably force out mp3 files from the cache.
