The internal replay cache management has been significantly improved.
With 2 new additions, replay search and multi-replay analysis take almost ZERO time even with thousands of replays!
This applies to replays which are already cached - so the first search/analysis will run with approximately the same speed.
In-memory replay cache management
There is a setting on the Internal tab of the Misc settings dialog: "Use in-memory replay cache".
If it is enabled (it is by default), Sc2gears will also manage the replay cache in-memory to speed up replay searches, multi-replay analysis and batch-renaming.
A new name template symbol: /h
This symbol inserts the MD5 hash of the replay. This might make your file names look a little uglier, but it will EXTREMELY speed up replay searches and multi-replay analysis.
It is recommended to rename all your current replays to add the MD5 hash to the name if you frequently use the search or the multi-rep analysis feature.
To do that, list all your replays, and rename all with the template "/n /h./e". This template simply adds the MD5 hash to the end of the current names.
Also add the /h symbol to your replay auto-save name template.
A new setting on the Internal tab of the Misc settings dialog: "Use MD5 hash from file name"
You can tell Sc2gears whether to use the MD5 hash info if found in the file names.
Player aliases now have to be provided as full names: name-gateway-region-bnet_id, for example: "SCIIGears/EU/1/206154".
This is aided by a new player popup menu item: "Copy full name".
This will allow you to specify your different accounts as aliases across all gateways even if they have the same name.
Removed the /P and /Q template symbols.
Code refactoring; other minor changes and improvements.
