If rebuilding the cache takes that long, I suggest that rebuilding should also be interruptible. That is, on being told to shut down, the program should save its state in such a way that the next time the user runs it, it can pick up where it left off. With an announcement! As Brad Rogers wrote, that would be useless in the event of hitting the physical reset button. That's why hitting the reset button is a last resort. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
