How to filter missing files.
« on: May 12, 2004, 07:01:19 pm »

Is there a search key to filter in/out missing files? If there isn't, it would be great to have one. It would be useful todo cleanup and for dynamic environments, Laptop accessing different files at different environments.

There is no fast way to gather all the missing files.  Checking can be slow on some network connections so a search for missing files would take a very long time to return.

Thanks Matt,

1. How about to have a tag, that is updated only on demand.

2. Also as an optimization, for a file:

\\x\x1\x2\x3,

you could first check whether \\x exists, then \\x\x1 etc. You can cache these results. Since most files are from similar locations, you don't have to query OS for each file seperately. This could speedup the current missing file detection too.
