Network settings: Cache
AWeb uses a cache on your harddisk to store
objects. It will use the directory you configure here as its
cache directory. Note that you should
create a new directory, or use an empty one for AWebs cache. Don't use
the cache directory for anything else but AWebs cache.
Type the full path name, or click the button to pop up a standard drawer requester.
Note that if you change this setting it does not become active when you
Use or Save the settings. In order to avoid an inconsistent
cache, AWeb will continue to use the current cache directory until you
quit AWeb. The next time you start AWeb the new directory will be used.
Verify cache copy
Use this chooser to set the verification
mode. Once per session is the recommended setting.
Fast response
Check this checkbox if you want fast response
from the cache.
Use these two gadgets to set the maximum size to use for the cache in memory
and on your harddisk.
All sizes should be given in kB.
Minimum free memory
These two gadgets determine the minimum amount of chip and fast
memory that AWeb should leave free. If there is less memory free than
what is set here, AWeb will flush objects from memory. Usually these
objects remain on your harddisk.
If you specify more memory than can possibly be freed (e.g. a non-zero
fast memory limit on a machine with no fast memory), AWeb will continuously
flush all documents and images. So be careful what you enter here.
Sizes are in kB.
If this list contains site names (also known as locations or
host names), then documents and images from these sites will not
be stored in the cache.
Use the Add button to add a new entry, and the Del button to
delete the currently selected entry. Double-click on an entry to edit
the name in place.
You may type simple host names, or use pattern matching. If a string contains
pattern matching characters, it's matched against the full url, not only the
host name. This enables you to selectively cache or not cache files from a
server.
