I had a heck of a time coming up with a title for this post.
I've found that after a day of downloading quite a bit of content that starting up CM the next day takes a very long time (in this case over five minutes) before the CM window actually opens. Meanwhile, you sit there wondering why nothing seems to be happening.
Anyone who knows about Task Manager will immediately start that up and try to see what the holdup is.
My research found that way down deep in the background TADDaemon is slaving away deleting all the files in \cache\internet. Every thing you've downloaded previously is in there and, one file at a time, it take a long time to delete them. While this is happening TADDaemon may or may not show up in the taskbar at all so you have NO visual indication that your "double-click" started anything.
What is needed is a little popup stating something like this:
"TADDaemon is working hard in the background to delete all the working files for content you installed the last time. Please be patient"
Now, how hard can that be to do?
/rant :hehe:
I realize that this could better be placed in the "Suggestion Boxcar", but I've had many, many suggestions disappear into a black hole and never make the panel.
