Hi Roman,
I make a wish !
Currently I am using a header skipper plug-in with CMP..

My wish ?
CMP quickly scans through the DAT - determines largest file size, then when rebuilding, ignores all files over 'that' size
Explained clear enough ?

Thanks
Oxyandy

actually the rebuilder only checks files which have a size which is available in the currently loaded dat....at least I've added such a check years ....can double check it in 2 weeks....

[Roman]

hmmm....could be that I combibed size and hash calc .... so it would cause useless hash calc time....wonder if I was that dumb....as I said I can check that in 2 weeks earliest....since Im now enjoying sun and beach.....

Hi Roman,
Thanks for taking a look

Enjoy your holiday !
"If" I am lucky I will get a holiday sometime in the next month..

[Roman]

ok, I've checked the code...and there is a "smart size filter" already in....(tested with a MAME dat and some large iso file I had floating around...it gets skipped directly...)

So....what makes you think that bigger files are checked? Or is it an archive inside an archive?

Hi Roman,
When using a NES DAT with a header skipper,
Rebuilding files which had a couple of movies in the folders & CMP would always 'choke' on them.
Or large archives which I block CMP from 'looking into' by changing the extension
Thanks

[Roman]

ah header skipper....well yes...then it takes long...that disables the check....(there are some other cases...e.g. if you work with dats which only provide hashes not size information...)....I will check if the header check can also be so smart to do some skipping...

I placed 2489 "wanted files" with about 15Gb worth of 'other random stuff'  in the Source folders of Rebuilder.
Everything was not already archived (RAW)

Took the new build for a test drive:
7 minutes to complete

As a comparison, same "Source Folders/Files" with Public Release 4.014b
27 minutes to complete

Thanks Roman, that did the trick
