Hi, thank you for your feedback.
The reason for putting !Scrap in a Ramdisk seems to be some performance benefit for certain workloads or use cases. !MiscSetup makes this easy by copying !Scrap automatically during boot. I didn't use this setup myself, but for some people it seems to be an issue, and I thought that this might be a good start to become more familiar with RISC OS programming. 2015-07-19 12:47 GMT+02:00 Steve Fryatt <li...@stevefryatt.org.uk>: > On 19 Jul, Rob Kendrick wrote in message > <20150719090731.gb27...@platypus.pepperfish.net>: > >> On Sun, Jul 19, 2015 at 12:55:06AM +0200, Christian Walther wrote: >> >> > We just discussed this issue during a RISC OS user meeting, and a better >> > approach seems to be to place RUfl_Cache in <Choices$Write>.WWW.NetSurf. >> >> No, it's not choices data.

Sounds reasonable. > The patch as sumbitted is also broken, as it will cause RUfl to *read* data > from Choices$Write. I rewrote the patch to reflect your suggestions. It checks if Cache$Dir is set and either sets NetSurf$RUflCacheDir to <Wimp$ScrapDir> or <Cache$Dir>.NetSurf rufl_internal.h is patched to make use of <NetSurf$RUflCacheDir> and hardcodes RUfl_Cache as filename.
