Request: Reduce cache size

[LeonSaal]

Hi Rick,

do you think it is possible to reduce the size of the cache file during filling of the cache? It blows up quite quickly and clutters my harddrive. My current strategy is to delete the cache of previous evaluations and recache it if needed.

Kind regards,

Leon

Hi Leon,

Good question! When I implemented the caching I had in mind to put limits, but in the end this didn't turn out to be very straightforward to do automatically. But I will keep it in mind and try to investigate what is possible.

For now, I guess you could always manually edit the SQLITE file and remove older rows.

Thanks, Rick

Hi Rick,

a follow-up question: What is the cache-table _filterFGroupsminReplicates used for? For me it takes up ~ 60 % of the total size of the cache and I wonder why it it so much bigger, than the other _filterFGroups__-tables:
