Oh, you finally did implement multithreading, @movq@www.uninformativ.de. Cool, cool. :-) https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2024-04-21/0/POSTING-en.html Just in case you want to keep working on PMdusage, my suggestion for a future upgrade is to make the scan abortable. 8-) By the way, what does “PM” in “PMdusage” stand for?
Always great to see that bugs are quickly fixed.
There’s a tiny typo in the second to last paragraph: “Windows NT is something that I had no contact with…”
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting. Never came across the term presentation manager in my life, but I also never used OS/2. :-)
Yeah, stopping the scanning thread is more a learning experience than a necessity. The scanning message is hardly visible in your videos. It’s already very quick.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Goes to show how arcane that system has become. 🥴 I saw in another video today that Microsoft Office used names like PMWord
and PMExcel
.
There was a time when Vobis (you remember them?) sold PCs with OS/2 pre-installed. Those were the days, man! 😂
It’s already very quick.
That’s because it’s not running on a hard disk but a Compact Flash card. 😅 My Warp 4 box is on an HDD and scanning directory trees takes quite some time there. 🫤 Spinning rust is crazy slow.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Vobis doesn’t ring a bell. I looked them up, but still nope.
Yeah, HDDs aren’t the fastest things in the world. :-)
