Experimental Version Attached
2024-08-27 - 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". Last edited by JimmXinu; Yesterday at 08:46 PM. |

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> Stephen |

Attached is experimental version 4.37.3. Same as I thought I'd posted, plus a version bump to confirm it. Quote:
I believe your problem is the leading '/' in '/~Library/...'. Should just be '~Library/...' |

Thank you ... that fixed the problem ... in the FWIW department, I *do* need the / before Library ... the tilde takes the place of Users/myname and it expects a / after that for the next bit of the long file name ... like:
Users/myname/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache/Cache_Data Stephen PS: Here's the log file to conform that it worked :-) Last edited by booster-t; Yesterday at 10:21 PM. |

That's good.
Now the question is what happens for other people. Any volunteers? Any linux users maybe? Correct. But the copy paste showed '/~Library', not '~/Library' -- I was typing faster than I was thinking when I said "just '~Library'". |

The current change isn't really backward compatible -- if browser cache worked before and still works with this experimental version, odds are your browser uses the other cache code. |

I'm seeing entries for browsercache_blockfile, so maybe not so good a test

Yep, that's the other Chrome cache type. Thanks for trying anyway.
