General • Re: Pre-caching every item with every Property through indexing - a reasonable overkill?

... why limit such lists to just frequently used formats and not expand them to all multimedia formats that are known to me?...

Hi TGV.
I think that a similar train (of thought) was on my mind when I asked:-
(a) What drives, what files, what folders were considered for inclusion in the Index for SHA512? I have a boot drive C: and an encrypted data drive T:
(b) How/where do I control what files are included in the index. How do I prevent folders from being included?

Getting a souped-up RAM and SSD off the ground made me think "Why not make good use of this facility?".

I think that the answer was something like "The space is not an issue; but maintaining those indexes each time a single file changes will soak up of lots of processing/maintenance time".
Cheers, Chris
