Request : Button to force/refresh synchronisation
Hi,
maybe that I missed it but does it exist :
1) a button to force synchronisation before auto-polling ?
2) an option to modify the polling interval ?
On my X1000/OS4 FE, when polling interval is reached, my systems hangs very shortly. It should be an OS4 bug (still reported on Hyperion forum but...as always...) but it you could do an option to specify polling interval and/or the ability to disable auto-polling, it could be useful.
Thank you by advance

Actually the polling interval has been set to 30 seconds IIRC, when we will reach a stable release candidate I could put it in the preferences if @phoenixkonsole is agree
When the synchronization is started the client send a request to the server and check the files into the local synchronized folder, if you have hundreds of files that could be the cause of the slowdown
Anyway if you will have this problem also on the next releases I can build a special version for you to try to identify exactly the cause of this behaviour.
@Fabio
is it possible in hollywood to reduce the "percentage of CPU use?" like in AHI where you can set "skip when cpu load is higher than 70%"... So the work will take longer but it will not suck the complete CPU?
Maybe we should send this request to Andreas (maintainer of Hollywood).
Maybe we could include a option to get a "requester" instead of automatic sync.. so if time has come to do a sync.. AmiCloud could ask if it should start to do so or wait for the user giving the ok. Likes apps which asks frequently to "save your work"... This should not be default.. because it is really only a amiganoid problem and with coming multicore support in ARIX and maybe OS4 it will be gone anyway.
Or an OS4-FE bug...

I will try under 4.1.6 tomorrow.
If I'm able to understand exactly in which code loop the system hangs I can insert something to reduce CPU usage only for OSes where the problem exists.
Anyway I will wait for further investigations
So for me it is a core-solo AmigaOS, AROS and MOS Problem. You can check it on IcAROS... Launch AmiCloud and Launch Quake... quake will freeze every 30seconds when AmiCloud does a check.
For once, it's not a OS4 only problem
So, I will not try under 4.1.6 except if you want.
Freeze problem:
I will investigate and try to fix it
