Caching problem
surbaniak:
v0.9.300 on Win2000
I think there is something severely wrong with the caching mechanism.
Or i misunderstand how it is supposed to work.
After scanning a good portion of my collection, the cache is at about 13000 entries.
I marked many of them .... perhaps about 300 as Ignores.
The rest I deleted either left or right.
I closed Similarity.
Now I just started Similarity again, and start the scan without adding any new folders to the list.
And the Cache size reads: 94
What is going on ?
What is worse, all the filepairs which I marked to Ignore are now showing up again, as this scan progresses.
Please help ! This is nightmarish. :(
I have 18000 more files to go .... and if ignore does not work, I may have to find a tall building. :(

Admin:
ok, ok,
1) the caching file must be writable, check it size, it must increase after scanning (and in scanning progress).
2) try to check smaller group and see cache file size.
surbaniak:
Where does the cache file live ?
surbaniak:
Ja ok ... i see it:
C:\Program Files\Similarity\cache.dat
At the end of the run it is at 109MB, writable.
so now I exit Similarity. cache still 109MB.
Now I restart Similarity.
It remembers my directory selections correctly .... and cache file is still at: 109MB.
Now I hit 'Start scanning' button and cache file is still at 109MB ...... but the status bar starts out with :
Cache : 0 New : 0/0
and all the previously ignored duplicates show up again.

Admin:
Version of Windows ?, if its Vista,7 with enabled UAC, Similarity writes to AppData folder in user folder, not in Program Files.
