Solved [TC 10 b10] Unnecessary entries in totalcmd.log?

Post by *petermad »

I have noticed thousands of entries like this in my totalcmd.log file:

Code: Select all

19-05-2021 02:27:46: CreateFile(Skipped): Focus: 10, 7, 109
19-05-2021 02:27:46: CreateFile(Skipped): Focus: 10, 7, 109
19-05-2021 02:27:46: CreateFile(Skipped): Draw: 10, 7, 109
19-05-2021 02:27:46: CreateFile(Skipped): Draw: 11, 121, 223
They get created when I am in Thumbnail view and switch directory, also when i switch to already visited directories. They get created even if I disable all five thumbnail loading methods (so no thumbnails are shown), and they also get created whether thumbnail caching is enabled or not.

I find these entries of no value and they can create enormous totalcmd.log files in a very short time!

It is only with the 64bit version of TC that I see these entries, and only AFTER beta3.

I also see entries like these (maybe a little bit more useful though) in the log file, whenever I play a video file with directShow:

Code: Select all

19-05-2021 02:38:02: Lister: RenderStreams: g:\Film\BarmerByNight.mp4
19-05-2021 02:38:02: Lister:  1. Enhanced Video Renderer (EVR)
19-05-2021 02:38:02: Lister:  2. VSFilter (from dll)
19-05-2021 02:38:02: Lister:  3. Audio Renderer
19-05-2021 02:38:02: Lister:  4. LAV Audio Decoder	-> 3
19-05-2021 02:38:02: Lister:  5. LAV Video Decoder	-> 1
19-05-2021 02:38:02: Lister:  6. LAV Splitter Source	-> 5, 4
These entires are made by both 64bit and 32bit TC.

Are these two kind of entries just for beta testing purposes? And if not, could we have an option to disable them?

Thanks, the Focus and Draw log entries are debug entries and should have been removed already. I will remove them.

The Lister entries are there to help users understand why a video was rendered and another wasn't. I prefer to keep them for now while the player is new.

Confirmed that the Focus and Draw entries are no longer logged in TC 10 rc1 :-)
