Optimize gpu-data.json and os-data.json fetching

[wangcheng]

Currently TNUC will fetch the latest gpu-data.json and os-data.json every time, which is not ideal for the following reasons:

• User's GPU and OS are not changing frequently. We are wasting network resources and time to fetch them every time.
• Users in China have difficulty accessing GitHub's "raw" resources due to the GFW. Some users have proxy tools to work around the GFW but they are usually browser-based because it is tricky to enable proxy for CLI tools like TNUC.

My proposed solution:

• Currently TNUC can read local json files from working directory (usually users home dir). I think the better solution is to read them from the app config directory (AppData\Local\Hawaii_Beach\TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker). This will allow the user that can't access GitHub to fetch a local copy from the browser and save them in the app's own dir instead of home dir.
• To save network requests and time, we can fetch and store these 2 files locally and only fetch the latest version if we can't find the current GPU or OS in the local file.

Hi Wang. Thanks for enlightning me about this, I agree it should be cached in the configuration directory.

You could also compare the date of the cached files so if they are a week old then update them.

Great idea! I will implement this for the next release.

Thanks for the reply!

Please consider implementing reading files from AppData folder. I will appreciated it as a user in China and I don't like the idea of put some json files in my home directory. Thanks!

Hi sorry for the extreme delay, this feature has now been developed and will be released in the v1.18.0 update. Thank you for your feedback, indeed the implementation was very bad.

Thank you so much!
