[Sugar-devel] [sugar-toolkit-gtk3 PATCH] sl#4276: Writing the icon-files for ".xo" files on a permanent mount-point, and not /tmp. mount-point.

[Ajay Garg]

Manuel, James ::

In my current approach, a file in "icon_files" folder is not removed ever,
once it is written.



This solves the following two purposes ::

a)
Space optimization ::
===============

No need to write multiple files for the same activity icon.
Earlier, many icon-files (containing the same contents) existed, owing to
different random names of each new file in "/tmp" folder.


b)
Time  optimization ::
===============

Once it is seen that an  activity-icon file (pertaining to a particular
activity) exists, it is not re-written.



For eg, at my end, "ls -l /home/ajay/.sugar/default/icon_files" gives ::

[ajay at localhost ~]$ ls -l ~/.sugar/default/icon_files/
total 56

-rw-rw-r--. 1 ajay ajay  4110 Dec 10 23:47 icono2.svg


I am open to any new approaches; we have done the important part of
diagnosing :D
