[Question] some questions about index freq

[rty813]

1. I found that for the recorded screenshots, not every one is indexed, but only once every X number of times. So when the system is idle, will the previously skipped snapshots be re-indexed?
2. After the screen is locked, it does not seem to continue indexing in the background. I think that every night when the system is idle is a good time to re-index the previously unindexed pictures.

Great question!

Currently, Pensieve dynamically adjusts the processing intervals based on the screenshots processing speed. As a result, some screenshots are fully indexed, while others only have their file name, current application name, and title recorded. Additionally, if the system detects that it is running on battery power, the number of skipped screenshots will significantly increase.

Right now, the system does not automatically perform a full scan for unindexed content; Manually execute the command memos scan is required to trigger a full scan.

This topic is also mentioned here: #16.

So is it possible to re-index unindexed images when the system is idle? For example, after the screen is locked?

Currently, I will not automatically run the full scan because the computational power of each device varies. For instance, without an NVIDIA GPU, a full scan of one day’s data could take several hours or even longer.

However, Pensieve currently defaults to recording the screen every 4 seconds, adopting an approach of “recording more, processing less” to facilitate batch processing when sufficient computational power is available. If you think this approach is unnecessary, you can adjust the record_interval in the config file.

For example, my computer at work works for 8 hours during the day and is in standby mode for more than ten hours at night. This time can be fully utilized
