Processing folders with a lot of content. #14

Closed Wulluby closed 4 years ago

Wulluby commented 4 years ago

Hi, love this tool. I was running this last night and noticed that while it processed smaller test folders with no difficulty it wasn't writing output for larger folders, size on disk didn't seem to matter, I think it might have been number of files contained. Is this something you guys have observed elsewhere?

I ran against my C:\Temp which is 2.12GB and contains 438 files, 179 folders. It looked like it worked through the contents in a good time but then sat overnight with a message at the bottom of the GUI, "Processing Content", no output was written.

This was ran on Windows 10, 1803.

snap2html debug.zip

Hello. I am not able to recreate this bug at home. Please help me!

Attached is a copy of snap2html that I built to debug your problem. It will create an xml file in the same place as the html file would be saved. This is done before the problem you describe occurs and the program hangs. Please use it, and send the xml file (zipped) to me so I can examine it.

Hello, as Wulluby said, love your tool too ! But unfortunately, I'm encountering the exact same issue trying to index a huge hard drive. I'll try to run the debug version you send and let you know the result.

Many thanks, /Z
