[BitPim-devel] "lazy read" implementation approach

[Joe Pham]

Would it make any sense to implement the lazy read feature by using a persistent, multi-phone capable file caching design (similar to the existing DirCache implementation). As BitPim reads a file from the phone, it would first check the cache for a hit; if a hit is found, cache data is returned, otherwise BitPim would read the file from the phone, update the cache and return the data. The cache hit criterion is equivalent file paths, date/time stamp, and file size.

It would help, but only people who are talking to their phones
a lot - ie us developers :-)

I would like to complete the various other features in BitPim
first before doing performance optimisations like this.

Agreed, with one minor exception: those users who have a fair number of media files on their phones.

Any particular features that you have in mind?
