![]() ![]() ![]() Essentially: Wouldn’t it be great if you could edit an audio clip, hit Save, and have it automatically go into the folder for the current podcast folder? No re-configuring a default folder for each new project – it’d just work. His reasoning was that if he could magically tell Default Folder X what podcast he was working on, it would always offer to save the component audio files into the folder for that podcast. His problem was that you have to set a single folder as the app’s default folder – just one. At that time, you could set a default folder for an application so that when you chose Save As, it always offered to save a file in that particular folder. He emailed to ask if it would be possible to make Default Folder X more flexible. Jason Snell (of Six Colors and The Incomparable fame) has been writing about Macs forever, and is now a prolific podcaster. That may sound like a mouthful of jargon, so let me explain, because it can be applied in a lot of situations. Since files could disappear after the search was paused, HoudahSpot would need to pre-load all file metadata so as to keep the ability to show it after files have been deleted.Version 5.3.7 of Default Folder X introduced a new capability: it can now ask what the default folder for an application should be on the fly using AppleScript. You would expect to be able to scroll, sort and otherwise explore the search results. It would however come at the cost of memory use. ![]() ![]() This would do away with most of the CPU use you see while HoudahSpot is “inactive”. Neither HoudahSpot 3 nor 4 have an option to pause / freeze a search: stop searching, but keep showing the results. I also expect these operations to use less CPU. REVIEW HOUDAHSPOT 4 UPDATEit will be faster to re-sort and update search results as changes happen. The recent HoudahSpot 4.3 includes optimizations in loading search results and file metadata. REVIEW HOUDAHSPOT 4 WINDOWSThe system may also have HoudahSpot redraw its window as it gets covered by other windows and later revealed. If these match an active search, this needs to be refreshed. I assume that the 5 measurements at 45% CPU represent brief periods of time.ĭuring the hour you watched the CPU, files on the system have been updated or added. Though I expect these to be rather short. Ps -p$1 -opid -opcpu -ocomm -c | grep $1 | sed "s/^/$mydate /" > $filepath/$2.txt Mydate=`date "+%H:%M:%S"` # the timestampįreq=$((60/$interval)) # for sleep function Timelimit=6000 # how long to run, in seconds Here is the simple script I ran to collect the data:įilepath=/Users/bobf/Documents/Process_Tracks # modify as desired If you would still like the Sample Process info let me know. Which is saying that 1025 of the total values were less than 5, 53 were between 5 and 10, 17 were between 10 and 15. Most of the values are small (900 of them were less than 1.0), but of the 1195 values here is how they broke down (yy is a list that contained all the sorted CPU percentages for the 1195 samples, with the greatest value of 43.4%): Well, can't insert the image (why is that - do I need to do something in order to put an image in a post?) so here is the raw data summary (if you wish I can post the 1195 values). I left Houdaspot running and did a simple "ps -p980 -opid -opcpu -ocomm -c > houdahspot.txt" every 5 seconds for about an hour, and here is a graph of the values obtained: ![]()
