BETA: Live Filter changes

[eil]

A tiny remark-wish: when all the polishing for this feature will be finished, please Don add to the Help file a list of what is explicitly memory-filtered.(currently it only mentions the feature itself, no list where it works)

[admin]

Why? It's irrelevant to the user.

[eil]

While user can't influence what is live filtered in what way, it's still good to know the details, especially for geek users who do care.
For example after i got to know that icons on tabs cause constant re-read of those icon files, i use only coloured tabs.(BTW that's why i still hope-waiting for proper-full base64 icons implementation)

You are exceptionally obsessed with disk I/O, but you tend to forget that the Windows I/O cache shields you from most real I/O operations. You can relax a bit more.

Well, probably i am. After several times losing data on all kinds of storages, i know backup is not a panacea and the only other way to lessen chance of sudden storage death - less hardware wear. Windows prefetch is not a cure too, cause it still uses hardware and mainly works about faster launch, not less I/O actually. Big numbers matter and some trivial yet constant numerous everyday operation may decide if your hdd dies in couple months or live for another year.
Yet i "was unlucky" to get acquainted with Assembler in old university times, so for me "optimisations" are not only "useful thing", but a mark of programmers skill. That's how i picked XY initially = not based on some "no-brainer platform", fully hand-written and constant optimisations.(when i got to know you're german, it only became more natural, dah stereotypes)

Sorry for lots of offtop. And i still wait for base64icons.

The key to backup is redundancy. At least three, on different types of media, in different locations (not in the same building).

A handwritten version on papyrus is the non-plus-ultra, but it takes time.
