Queue saving

blubb- · 01-29-2005, 12:36 PM

Hi,

I'd like to export the queue as a textfile (not that important though). Another nice thing would be the possibility to save the queuefiles crypted, with the same password as the stats.dat and sites.dat and so on are crypted. You should definitely integrate an option, if you decide to integrate my suggested feature, because I want to work with my queue files in other programs.

thanks & cu

queue files are already text files
it's format is described here http://forum.flashfxp.com/showthread...&threadid=1494

Maybe import from/export to XML?

Hi,

yep, XML would be nice. Thus, i'd like to know what the numbers in front of the sites mean?

thanks & cu

queue format is in the help file...that ever so hard to find help file

Hi,

i already looked in the helpfile, don't point at this little page all the time - the numbers before the sites aren't described there.

thanks

To load/save the queue in XML might be easier to edit but performance-wise, It would be a major bottleneck. XML is extremely slow compared to most alternatives. XML would not be a practical solution to the queue storage system

Hi,

it wasn't my intention to suggest XML as the only queue storage system - instead i'd like to have a menu entry to "export" the queue and open a third party program with the exported queue file name as parameter. This'd be great

thanks

The queue format was recently extended in v3.1. These extra values are for FlashFXP generated queues only and cannot be reproduced outside of FlashFXP.

A queue you manually create will not contain this information, Even without this information it is still compatible with FlashFXP.

XML isn't slow, it's just not fast

But seriously, XML might decrease the performance a little bit, but only by a fraction I think. The queue files are already textfiles and they must be parsed in some way right now. Besides, why bother about performance if the difference on a moderate PC is just a few milliseconds?

On top of that, I was talking *export* and *import*. Not the normal save and load.
