LHelp loads index only for first chm, but why?
« on: December 03, 2020, 02:45:31 pm »
If I set ON - "load all chm in single tab".
I see that into unit chmcontentprovider line 587, but why?
Quote
    // we fill the index here too but only for the main file
    if fChms.IndexOfObject(CHMReader) < 1 then             
May be that is only for to do later?
Can anyone to say more?

I have made first version of a redone. A combine of all indexes from the lazarus chm directory takes 1.5 sec. I think that is fine. It is with sorting the entire index tree by top level.

That's about right, that is how long it takes the textmode IDE too.

You can /MAYBE/ shave off some time by keeping everything widestring.

Note that it would be much faster to combine the binary indexes. (basically a merged of b+trees, at worst a merge sort).

Code for that would be nice in package chm, to keep it IDE independent.  In theory you could write out that combined index even, there is even a (MS) extension for that; .CHW which is a modified chm variant.

I think about that, but now we have nothing.
