**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 12 03:00:03 2017 Nov 12 07:10:53 DocScrutinizer05: Do you have any experience with or opinion about webOS as used on smartphones? Nov 12 07:44:46 Or anyone else? I have almost no experience with webOS. Nov 12 10:36:13 Vroom... Moving files out of DCIM into subfolders. So far, the record is 150 photographs taken during a single day. Nov 12 11:00:39 I still don't see how tracker finds 8k files. I see 0.5k music files, which is believable (should clean up some recordings), 2.5k photographs (I don't ever delete them), 4k Files (what's that?), 1k Other, and a few Texts (not much). Nov 12 11:02:25 I think that only half of 2.5k images are in DCIM, by now. Nov 12 11:06:35 i admire your hobby Nov 12 11:13:52 Thank you :-) Nov 12 11:14:21 Though I don't think the slowness has terribly much to do with tracker, since I don't run trackerd and I still had that issue with a large DCIM directory. Nov 12 11:14:50 I think it's just camera-ui .. stracing camera-ui indicates that it's a horribly obnoxious program WRT file accesses. Nov 12 11:15:04 But moving files out of DCIM and into DCIM subfolders helps, right? Nov 12 11:15:21 Dunno about DCIM subfolders. I moved them out into a separate directory. Nov 12 11:15:29 Camera probably checks which file names are and aren't taken? Nov 12 11:15:50 so instead of /media/sd/DCIM/, they're in /media/sd/cam/201711/ Nov 12 11:16:14 Either way, camera-ui is open-source, so it's possible to read what's happening, and maybe even fix it. Nov 12 11:16:45 Hmm, interesting, about separate directory... Nov 12 11:18:56 When holding the focus button, camera-ui keeps on loading a bunch of image files from the filesystem, and scanning /dev for some reason, and doing a bunch of other stupid crap. Nov 12 11:19:45 No idea about dev, but it has to figure out _xxn suffix somehow? Nov 12 11:20:20 This is what happens when you just press the focus button once: https://gist.github.com/Maxdamantus/78c3709c164c191a2f973e4cb1d10d44 Nov 12 11:20:44 If you hold it down, it keeps basically doing the same shit over and over again as it updates the colour of the square in the centre of the screen. Nov 12 11:20:58 and every time you do anything in the UI, it does the same stuff. Nov 12 11:21:45 (that's just `strace -e file`; I don't know how much useless stuff it's doing on top of opening a bunch of files) Nov 12 11:22:28 Mime, hicolor, localtime, icons... Nov 12 11:37:52 I photograph bikes, insects, plants, birds, museum, robots, sky... Nov 12 11:38:20 and you are satisfied wirh n900 canera quality? Nov 12 11:39:03 Yes. Not always, but sometimes photographs are stunning. Focus and colour are important. Nov 12 11:39:25 Deliberation, Determination, Destination ... Nov 12 11:40:21 It doesn't seem to scan through all potential filenames when saving. It just reads the gconf thing, /apps/camera/settings/basic-settings/last-media-id Nov 12 11:40:55 Good Nov 12 11:41:19 But why does it get slow when DCIM is huge? Nov 12 11:41:29 I don't know. Nov 12 11:41:41 low mem? Nov 12 11:41:47 lots of disk access? Nov 12 11:42:11 Sveta recommends some of my photographs (of flowers, especially) as wallpapers for PC Nov 12 11:42:18 run iostat -k 1 and check what happens when you open it Nov 12 11:42:42 What does it do? Nov 12 11:42:54 prints how much it reads/writes Nov 12 11:43:09 Okay... Nov 12 11:44:01 iostat not found Nov 12 11:44:16 might be in sysstat package Nov 12 12:34:35 yoiu know why ~user/ (/home) is 2GB? It's considered just enough to keep tracker's database ;-) IOW check your tracker config, try to keep as much as possible hidden from tracker's indexing Nov 12 22:13:28 hrrm Nov 12 22:13:48 * enyc wonders after n900 kernel update progress! Nov 12 23:29:27 hi guys I have home work assignment and there is one question I'm not able to answer I was wondering if any of you guys can help Nov 13 00:19:33 that's a classic ask to ask, just ask **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Nov 13 03:00:00 2017
