Got the latest pre release build - seems a bit slower on the initial library
load - so I’m assuming something new is happening.

You can try building it yourself. It's a PR so I'd like to get some feedback
before merging it.

Noice.
So I just wait for a new release, or is it better to clone and compile
myself?

Yeah, you can do that. But I just put together a migration so you won't have
to. :D

That should be easy for me to check yes? I can just query the page hash
table for the Len if the values.
I really don’t mind re-creating my library...I need to delete a few comics
that have been replaced by trades abywats.

I just created the PR for the caching ticket (#27). But, unfortunately, I
found that there was an issue with the pages table; i.e., the hashes were
being stored without padding out the hash value to 32 characters. The
caching code needs the hash to be exactly 32 characters long so it can build
out the caching directory. The directory structure takes the hash and
creates three directories: one for the first 8 characters, one for the next
8, and the third for the next 8. Then the cache filename is the last 8
characters. So that's going to break if your pages table contains hashes
with less than 32 characters.
I can decline the PR I pushed and add a migration to pad out any existing
records so you won't have to delete anything, then resubmit the PR. I'd
rather do that than have you need to delete your data.

My library is now loaded (hopefully for the last time)....no metadata
embedded, but CX has picked up the series etc. from the file name – where
the name makes sense.
I’ll start having a look at load times again soon – as well as doing some
scraping, as I expect the more metatdata that’s available the slower the
load will take.
I’m likely repeating myself...but I really do think caching the covers will
significantly decrease the library page load times.
Which just leaves the metdata – being loaded into the donut chart. Need to
figure out a way to measure that properly though....”I think it’s slow”
doens’t really cut it >_<

@bareheiny - I think ultimate you're the guy I'll need to lean on to find
the optimal solution for this problem.

So I'm working on re-enabling the multi-comic scraping today (the code's
nearly complete) and I'm thinking about comic selection. Specifically, how
the "Select All" button is no longer really doing that; i.e., since we don't
have the whole library in memory, there's no way to select "all". You can
only select, at best, 100 comics depending on the number of comics you
display per page.
This has me thinking that neither the current model (downloading only a page
at a time) or the previous model (downloading the full library) is the right
answer. So I'm looking for ideas or suggestions for how we can do this
better.
My first idea is re-enabling the constant background update, but limit it to
only returning high-level details for the comics (id, publisher, series,
issue #, characters, teams, locations, stories) (effectively, that's
everything that makes up the collections). I thing that would go much faster
that the previous downloading of the full set of details for each comic.
On the backend, though, it still takes same amount of work to fetch the
data, but should be much faster to marshal it for the response since it's a
small number of fields (and no page details).
Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions?
