change Root folder in scan.php

Hello,

i would like to change the root folder in scan.php (administrator\components\com_jdownloads\helpers).
The case is, that my site has about 8000 documents with over 300 categories, but the directory where documents being added via file browser are only a few.

I've created a task to execute the scan job every 30 minutes.

So changing the root folder would have positive impacts in performance.
I tried to understand the script but it seems like the defintion for the root directory is in an other script.

Thanks

Hi
I understand that you would like to be able to scan just the directory tree from a specified category (Directory). Is that correct?
This would not be simple.

The scan code is scheduled to be upgraded to operate faster - I will check to see status.  Also switching to PHP 7 may help as it is  faster.

The present scan code is quite old and Arno is working on a rewrite for greater speed.

  Yes PHP7 should make it faster Colin

I think you have not understand the script exactly.

@Tinga
We work on a new jDownloads serie 3.7 for Joomla 3.7 and higher.
In this I have overworked the scan.php completely. But it is not so easy to make this file compatible with the current jD series. But I will check this.

Thanks for your replies.

@ColinM
Ok i will try to update my PHP to version 7.

@Arno
That new version is looking very good and i am looking forward to its release.

Right now my Server is running quiet good and it is not that important to change the root directory,
but i thought i could give it a little less stuff to do  ;)


Thank you for your great work.
