Slow Download Shows A Size of 0

Post by therube »

Don't think I've noticed it before, but I am now, sometimes, with 793/794b, where a Slow Download Shows A file Size of 0-bytes.

Interacting with the file, updates the size - to that point in time, as expected.
Likewise, when the download completes, it again has the expected size at that point.

Maybe I just didn't see it before?
Or there is a behavior change recently?

Check with Process Explorer to see if there are any open handles to the slow download.

Everything will not update the size of the file until a handle is closed. This limitation is caused by how Everything works with the USN Change Journal.
It might be possible to catch size changes more frequently with monitoring the folders for changes. I'll consider adding an option to do so in a future release.

Depends what download program you use and how it saves to disk.
In most cases you probably don't want the USN journal spammed with thousands of DATA_EXTEND (size change) events.

The NTFS monitors in Everything have not changed.
The same monitoring method from Everything 1.0 is still being used.

If your downloads folder is indexed with folder indexing you may experience a change from Everything 1.3 to Everything 1.4.1. However, Everything 1.4.1 should be catching more file system changes.

Just noting what I saw ...

Was changing the fps of a movie.

Code: Select all

mencoder.exe  -fps 25  -nosound  -ovc copy  in24.mp4  -o out25.mp4
So as mencoder was running (took a few minutes), it was "streaming" its output to out25.mp4.
At the same time, I was previewing out25.mp4 in MPlayer.

While this was going on, I did not take notice what file size was being reported in Everything.
When mencoder finished, I had expected Everything to show the files correct size, but it didn't.

Knowing that it wasn't right, suspected that either mencoder or MPlayer still had a handle on the file?
AFAICT mencoder was out of the picture at that point - it had finished its work & I was sitting at a C: prompt.

It wasn't until I closed MPlayer that Everything updated the file size to show correctly.


I didn't really expect that - that I'd have to actually close MPlayer before Everything updated.
In the past I've done plenty of similar changes to files (most often using ffmpeg.exe) while at the same time had been "previewing" in MPlayer, but never had Everything failed to update a file size - once the ffmpeg.exe process had finished its work. (IOW, previewing in MPlayer had never hindered a file size update in Everything - that I'm aware of.)

This is my first time using mencoder like this & maybe there is some weird interaction between it & MPlayer so maybe its just a quirk in this circumstance?



Looking at debug, I noticed that...

Before closing MPlayer, file size was wrong.
After closing MPlayer, file size was updated correctly in Everything (GUI),
but I didn't see any indication of a "change" in debug?
So then I changed the search to 'out25.mp44' (appending a second 4),
which returned no results (expected).
Then backed out the second 4, so again 'out25.mp4',
at which time debug then showed the correct file size.

Not sure if there is anything material in the behavior or not?
Once MPlayer closed, Everything GUI had the file size, but I didn't see any reflection of same in debug.
Maybe its just a non-issue.

In any case, not particularly concerned, just mentioning.

Thanks for the debug output.
Knowing that it wasn't right, suspected that either mencoder or MPlayer still had a handle on the file?
Sounds like MPlayer still had a handle to the file open.
When all handles are closed the USN journal record is committed, only then can Everything see the change in size.
but I didn't see any indication of a "change" in debug?
In the debug console? The message "total size 18086468, calculated in 0.000001 seconds" is only displayed when you perform a new search.
Everything will continue to update the total size in real-time, these changes are not shown in the debug log.
Since Everything has calculated the total size for all the results, only the size of file changes have to be added or subtracted from the total size.
