Question:
When I‘m setting up Spitfire and have lots of files for all my projects, is there a way to speed up the file load using the Add Files tool?
Answer:
The Spitfire Add Files tool does a validation check as you add files to upload to the Catalog. If you are in a scenario where you are loading to start up your Spitfire installation (or the initial load of files for a new project), you can by-pass the checks and speed up the process by activating BulkMode.
To activate BulkMode for the Add Files tool:
- Create a c:spitfire folder on your workstation.
- In the c:spitfire folder, create a new text file with the name: sfAddFilesBulkMode.dev.
Note:Check that Windows isn’t hiding “known” extensions and that your new file isn’t really sfAddFilesBulkMode.dev.txt.
Additional Comments:
Add Files will prompt each time it is open
‘Bulk mode is enabled on this workstation: Skip optional validations?‘
Respond Yes for faster loading or No to operate in standard mode.
