I want to love Nextcloud but I've always found it unusably slow once you have a lot of files and folders. I am running it on an system with several TB of data so maybe that's a bit high, but I still don't really understand why that's impacting its responsiveness, or even it's search for that matter. I used to use Pydio (and its previous incarnation as Ajaxplorer) and it had its problems with search but was generally but better performance. PS - I just updated to v21 and it does seem better - maybe they have improved things.

I hope not - none of Tracy's panels should be loaded on the frontend of a site unless the debug bar is enabled (Tracy is in development mode) which should only happen for an authorized user (usually only superusers).

Great to hear - sorry I didn't deal with this earlier.

In case folks didn't see this post it is definitely worth upgrading to the latest version, especially if you have large PW or Tracy log files.

Ok, new version removes the line number and I also implemented a faster way of getting the last lines from the log files. Should be a LOT faster now with large log files. @teppo - can you please confirm at your end?

Yeah, good idea - leave the link, but without the line number.

Another update - my new version is faster at parsing the log files and get the last number of lines required, but it turns out that the biggest slowdown in the entire process is generating the code editor link which is added to the "Text" column. The reason is that because we're only loading the last 10 lines of the file, I was having to get the total number of lines in the file to figure out what line number the entry is actually on. I think given the potential impact on performance I should remove the link. Any thoughts?

I actually think I have a performant solution coming - I am testing with a 150MB log file and instead of 120ms, I am down to 2.5ms

Superficially at least, it looks like PW is using something similar to the recommended method from that SO post, using fseek etc so I feel like it should be reasonably performant. Maybe I'll dig into it a bit deeper and see if there are key differences which are impacting performance.

Hi @teppo - I have come across this a couple of times before so I would like to give it some attention. Tracy uses PW's $log->getEntries() method to get the last lines from each log file. I have been thinking about implementing a custom solution. There is an excellent writeup here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15025875/what-is-the-best-way-to-read-last-lines-i-e-tail-from-a-file-using-php I wonder if I should implement into Tracy or whether we should try to get a more performant solution in the PW core. Tracy caches log file entries, but if a file changes that benefit is lost and because the log files are loaded on every page load with Tracy, so it's obviously much more important than in the PW core. Any thoughts?

I don't mind your wording in the way it suggests refreshing the session, but I am not really sure "refreshing cookies" really describes what is going on. Regarding the typo - I am a proponent of the Oxford Comma - https://www.colesandlopez.com/blog/what-is-the-oxford-comma - I wasn't taught it in school, but I do like the way it reduces ambiguity. Obviously not necessary here, but I just use it all the time these days :)

@Ivan Gretsky - new version with this is now available. Note that in the end I didn't actually need the update to the Tracy core because I am actually overwriting their dump and barDump methods anyway - sorry I didn't notice that sooner. Let me know if you notice any problems - this hasn't had a lot of testing yet.

Sorry about that :) New version committed - I built it into that option and decided to rename it to "Clear Session, Cookies, & Modules Refresh" Let me know if you have any problems with it.

@bernhard - is that "Thanks" reaction an indication that you think that would be an OK solution?

@bernhard - what do you think about me including a modules refresh in the Clear Sessions & Cookies option? Just trying to avoid yet another option and a very long name, eg "Modules Refresh, Clear Session & Cookies". Can you think of any instance where it would be a problem to also refresh modules when you really just want to clear the session and cookies? I am actually kind of surprised that you need to also do a modules refresh, because the session/cookies option actually logs you out and back in again, so I would have thought that also refreshed modules, but I've probably just forgotten. Can you confirm that both are needed?

Thanks @Ivan Gretsky - I've implemented it locally (will commit soon) with a 100 default and 250 for the "big" version and of course you can change it as needed with: d($config->paths, [n, n, 500]); or: d($config->paths, ['maxItems' => 500]);

Just an FYI that I have fixed the CSS issue with the Console panel when it triggers the bluescreen.

Not really an important update, but I wanted to highlight a new feature in the Console panel that lets you override it's default behavior where it handles and reports exceptions in the results pane. This is generally more convenient, but sometimes it's helpful to see the full stack trace in Tracy's "bluescreen". I've added a new checkbox to enable this. One important thing to note is that the bluescreen breaks the Console panel - to get it working again, you can minimise/hide the bluescreen (down arrow at the top right), or reload the page. I feel like I should be able to solve this so it doesn't break the Console panel, but for now, this is the workaround if you use this feature.

@MindFull - have you tried setting the timezone of your MySQL server? I always do that on new installs and it seems to work to keep everything matched up. Here's a good tutorial on ways to achieve this: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/change-mysql-time-zone I've always used option 1.

You can copy it directly from Tracy when viewing a field's settings. Does that help?

Maybe I am missing something, but I don't understand how anyone used it without fixing this issue: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/DynamicRoles/issues/14 -it's an easy fix I made when I was testing it, but I decided it wasn't for me, especially for projects with a lot of pages, because of how it stores the IDs pages, IIRC.

Sounds good - I might actually be tempted to go back to this module - I do prefer the inheritance flexibility of it.

Thanks @Guy Incognito I have merged your PR. I have switched to using SeoMaestro, but to be honest I am not particularly happy with either of these modules - both have their issues for my way of working / thinking. It will be interesting to see what RockSEO brings to the table.

Hi @johnstephens - thanks for looking into it further - sorry I didn't respond to your last message - I didn't really see anything I could use to reproduce it. It does sound like you might be onto something with the memory error idea. I am curious what is in your bd() call - are there a lot or heavy objects being dumped? How many results are you looping through? If I try to dump too many items, eg: for($i=0;$i<99999999;$i++) { bd($i); } And I do get an out of memory fatal error and the debug bar fails to load, but I fixed it by increasing the "Reversed memory size" option in Tracy's config settings. Please let me know if that works for you.

Hi Robin, It's only a minor thing, but I just noticed this when clicking the show when using InputfieldSelector. Note the position of the calendar icon on top of the page numbers. matches 1716 pages (show)
