We have to re-dl previews everytime?

@slvrsrfr Hi, Could you please provide more details ?
Thank you

Hiya!

New user here. And just getting familiar with it all. I seem to feel that some of the previews that, I assume, where Dl'd previously were re-DL'd upon another visit. I could be mistaken.
Thankfully I was able to increase the font size in the forums to something more legible, but it seems the UI element does not allow similar. I checked settings for font size.
Nor can we highlight on the pages for text copy pasting. Is that WAI?
Is there a possiblity of expanding the filters for the store, the drop down on the left side.
I am glad it's active in here, or monitored, for the most part, in a timely manner.
I had a few other questions, but my hands are kinda stiff RN, I will follow up later.
Thanks for the help!

Hello ! welcome to iStripper. Previews downloaded are not supposed to redownload at each visit, this is weird... are you able to reproduce ?

For the forum text size, could you send a screnshot to [email protected] referring to this post so that we beter understand ?

Expanding the filters ? I'm under the impression that iStripper appears very small for you, could you give me the resolution of your device ?

cheers

Yes I do believe several previews that I watched previously re-downloaded. Since there was a core group I was paying attention to.

Notably as well a great majority of my wishlisted items do not appear in the list as of now. Only a ***** portion of ones I'd chosen are listed.
It is possible to attempt to reproduce the 're'-dl'd pvues(previews, shorthand?)...I digress.
So I use a pretty big monitor currently 2660x1880 I think. But in the forums I have found I can use the default win cntrl rollerball to adjust the font size, but it forgets it upon reload.
I wish you guys would enable the default f5 refresh key, it could help aleviate some problems sometimes. Just coming from a place of near a decade in the QA Test Lab with various companies/studios.
Fallen Earth ??!? Anyone? :)
I will try to get you a shot of the typical areas, along with the text as it appears.
The point about the filters is more QoL issues moreso than anyone technical issue. Which there are several around the site. Nothing to do with 'size'.
Well met.

@slvrsrfr Hello and welcome, T
hank you for your feedback. Could you please send all the details by email asap ? Thank you

I did realize that the wishlist was being filtered. Which I didn't recall using but the list returned.
As well I just now recall that the re-dl'd previews may be a result of using diskclean. As a lifelong gamer-ish(I was born b4 them) and prior QAtestlab employee is that I routinely will use it and defrag, or the half-assed winOptomizer thing. CCCleaner had a much better tool suite. I miss them.
If by using diskclean it wipes previews then I may have a culprit.

But yes if the issue is not related to using disk clean, or win optimizer then it has redl'd most evry preview I've seen. When I initially arrived I went to the various models pages I was most interested in favoring them and downloading the previews. I am sure I have downloaded several of them four times or more each.
It is likely if I were to return now to the various pages, I'd have to re-dl several of them. Do you have any type of coded restrictions on folder growth/size? Am I pressing against a ceiling limit of data?

I am certainly being ***** to re'dl some of the content I had already gone to Annie Darlings page and M. Glory and grabbed the previews of all the shows they had. And just now I'm having to re dl for both of them. I did't check every title.

And yet another bug just revealed itself while typing this up. If the performer changes while typing it drops focus from this window and I h
ave to re-engage it. Which is a *****. It did it at least four times since starting this reply.

"If the performer changes while typing it drops focus from this window and I have to re-engage it"
--> could you give me more details please ?

As I stated above if performances are active on your desktop, when typing in this field I am using now. And the performer changes. AKA the card pops out indicating a new act is up. When the card pops out this model loses focus, meaning typing does nothing, and I have to click in the field again to continue typing.

This must be the fifth or sixth time I have dl'd M Glory any of them. I have made a point of checking with those five coming online as a touch point. At this point between the 8 or so I favorited and collected the previews I wanted, and for some any they had. Lorena B,M Glory, Paula Shy, Nici Dee. For certain and Annie Darling. Those specifically I gathered any preview. All of them have had to re-dl'd at least 2-3 times.

@slvrsrfr Hello and welcome, Thank you for your feedback. Could you please send all the details by email asap ? Thank you

Sadly it's not something I do for free. Time is too precious to me at this age and time to justify spending twenty-thirty min or more compilling typing and editting bug reports for you, sorry.
I will try to be helpful and understanding, and hopefully not too pushy. As my OCD typically compels me to say something most times when I see bugs. But I type slow as *****, and I grammar worse, and it didn't get better with age
Your best bet dealing with me is likely just trying to reach out in this thread, since it will be kind of simple for me to find later. And to your benefit I'd spend that much less time scanning the forums and jumping into other stuff, and stirring the pot. ;p

Pretty much every preview has to be redownloaded. There is no preview that I have pulled from the site that has stayed, and didn't have to be redl'd.
Nici, Paula, Lorena, Agrus, Anie, and a couple others I have pointedly and directly added the previews of all of them, none of them stay accessible on the rig overtime. I am easily near ten times of getting every preview again of the same core group that I am here for.

Yes, that is exactly what you are encountering.
There is a Long Standing previews limit of 2GB
This limit was added to the app Many Years ago.

There have been several FIXES over the Years to Expand the Previews storage Limit
I no longer know which is the Current Solution
But all three of them involved adding a Registry Key and Increasing the Limit.

I just set mine to a very Large number that I know I will never reach.
Here is my Reg file with all three of the values included.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Totem\vghd\dlm_server]

"maxUserDefinedPreviewsBuffer"="8796093022208"
"maxDeletedDemoSize"="8796093022208"
"maxPreviewsBufferGB"="8192"

Long time iStripper users will already have added these to their registry,
so Only newer users like yourself start to run up against it..

Hope this helps to solve your Redownloading of wanted Previews.

Your reply implies something completely different however, it appears the demeanor behind the scene's is one of disregard and dismissal. As stipulated here. Whereas here in the light of the forums you seem to be so much more helpful and understanding. I just thought it an odd comparison. Happy New Year.

Also, your constant posts that are demanding constant attention are a ***** of the Terms and Conditions.

Please stop.

Am I to take that if I am unaware of every exact techinal specification that it is imposing undue burden upon you as the public facing member of the company? To whom will I be less of a demanding insistent customer then, could you post a appropriate support contact?

@Wyldanimal

I saw in my notes from that time that the value of both keys had been increased on April 18, 2020, to the number “10736344498176” rather than the number “8796093022208”

What is the purpose of the key “maxPreviewsBufferGB”=“8192,” which was not there at the time?


@Wyldanimal

J'ai vu dans mes notes prises à l'époque que la valeur des deux clés avaient été augmenté le 18 avril 2020, pour le nombre "10736344498176" plutôt que le nombre "8796093022208"

À quoi sert la clé "maxPreviewsBufferGB"="8192", qui n'était pas là à l'époque ?

@slvrsrfr

since you brought it up
I'm not going to detail everyone of your posts.
Some of them are in fact constructive
But Quite a few are just destructive to Stir the Pot.
That is the sort of conduct that My Please Stop is in reference too

You want to flaunt that you have YEARS of Quality Control Experience
Then I'm sure you Know exactly what I am referring to..

Constructive / Questions / Reports are very Welcome

Destructive post just to Stir the Pot, Are NOT welcome.

And you expect what in return.
That tells me all I need to know...
"Time is too precious to me at this age"

Obviously you have plenty of time to post Pot Stirring post...

And Insulting the TEAM, well I have Zero tolerance for that.
If it was my sole Decision to Make

I believe it came from one of the Developers during the iStripper 2.0 early Experimental stages.
I'm not sure if it is in use,
But I've kept it in my Registry.

Note: Having EXTRA registry values does not ***** the app
but NOT having a Needed value can have undesired results.

So for me, Better to have the value even if it is no longer needed, than to not have it.


Je pense que cela provient d'un des développeurs lors des premières phases expérimentales d'iStripper 2.0.
Je ne sais pas si elle est utilisée,
mais je l'ai conservée dans mon registre.

Remarque : avoir des valeurs de registre SUPPLÉMENTAIRES ne nuit pas à l'application,
mais ne pas avoir une valeur nécessaire peut avoir des résultats indésirables.

Donc, pour moi, il vaut mieux avoir la valeur même si elle n'est plus nécessaire, plutôt que de ne pas l'avoir.

Thanks for the info @Wyldanimal. I've created it and saved it in my registry. 😊
