Cache file list?

Post by SilentGuy »

Hi!
Does the "Cache file list" button actually do anything? Even when it's not checked, the file list seems to be available immediately.
And if it does do anything, maybe a better name would be in order, either "Refresh cached file list" or "Use cached file list" depending on what it should do :)

The 'Cache File List' option stores the scanned directory structure in memory for use next time (so it doesn't have to rebuild the folder tree). This will make searches over a large number of folders slightly faster. Due to hard drive/windows caching though your next search is ususually faster anyway!
