- New field in Chrome Simple cache?

Okay, it looks like Chrome 'simple' cache--on Mac at least--now has an extra field in the binary header. No idea what it is, but the fields we use are shifted over 4 bytes.

The attached version reads (and discards) the extra field. Plus a bunch of debug output.

The question is: is it just Mac, or all Chrome derived 'simple' cache using browsers? I know some Windows users end up with simple cache, but it's always 'block' cache on my computer.

So if some other people who use 'simple' can test it, that would help.

If you're running in debug mode, the output log will tell which cache version you're using. Search log for string Using. The options are "Using BlockfileCache", "Using FirefoxCache2", and "Using SimpleCache".

Hello again Jim

I thought I'd try Firefox to see if that made a difference. When I go about:cache, Firefox returns this file name: ~Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/whbmctbq.default-release-1721846696620/cache2

I guess that's a hidden file because when I got to the /Profiles folder, it's empty even though my Mac says it's taking 56mb.

The plugin responds by saying: Directory does not contain a known browser cache type: '/~Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/whbmctbq.default-release-1721846696620/cache2'

Sometimes I want to go back in time when things just worked <sigh>

I was going to ask if you were sure you installed the new zip, but I double checked and it looks like I uploaded the wrong one.

Attached is experimental version 4.37.3. Same as I thought I'd posted, plus a version bump to confirm it.

Firefox (my preferred browser, btw) browser cache uses different code, so it shouldn't have the same problems, at least.

I believe your problem is the leading '/' in '/~Library/...'. Should just be '~Library/...'
