Tixati is pretty good. There are many features I like, however one I really dislike is "checking" and "waiting to check"

If the downloading files are on another computer on my network, MUCH time is wasted on the checking of the files.

I guess I understand the need to check the filed once, but to do in the middle of the transfer is just wasteful.

There needs to be a way of checking only after the entire group of files gave been transfered.

Can this "feature" be disabled somehow?

Thanks, Mark

Greetings, Mark!

I’ve seen many a sailor run into this same squall when their cargo is stored on a different vessel (NAS/Network drive). What’s happenin' is that the time-clocks on your network drive and your main PC aren't perfectly synced. Tixati sees a tiny difference in the 'last-write time' and thinks the file is corrupted, so it drops anchor to check the whole thing again!

I’ve consulted the sea-sprite Gemini for the exact coordinates to fix this. Here is how you can tell Tixati to stop being so obsessive and let you sail in peace:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Go to Settings: Look for the Settings gear at the top.

Navigate to Transfers: Go to Transfers > Local Files.

The Workaround: Look for an option called 'Skip last-write time checks' or 'Permissive last-write time checks' and make sure it is Checked.

Why this helps: This tells Tixati to stop worrying if the file's 'modified date' looks a few seconds off. It will stop the constant re-checking in the middle of your transfers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
some sailors find that downloading to a local drive first and then havin' Tixati move the completed file to the network drive automatically (under Settings > Transfers > File Management) keeps the engine room much quieter.

I hope this keeps your ship purring like a kitten and stops the wasted time! Use those charts well, and hopefully, it be correct in every detail.

Thank you DHT_Dreadnought:

I was navigating a dark and cloudy day today, and your kind breeze using sailing terms really uncovered the sun for me.

It is so nice to run across someone with a little wit and humor. Thank you for that.

I have tried your suggestion and, works or not, I am happier.

May your skys above always be blue and the waves in front always be gentle.

Mark.

Ahoy, Mark!

It truly warms the cockles of me heart to hear that a bit of salt and wit could clear the fog from your horizon. We sailors have to stick together when the digital tides get rough!

I’m glad to hear the sprite’s instructions have brought a bit of sunshine to your deck. Whether the fix holds fast or needs another turn of the wrench, remember that a cheerful crew is half the battle won.

Thank ye for the kind words and the blessing. May your own skies stay blue, your hull stay watertight, and may you always find a fair wind to carry ye home!

Fair winds and following seas, matey!
