Bug #72475 [Opn]: enhanced chm uses up huge disk space

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72475&edit=1 ID: 72475 User updated by: jim dot michaels at Jesusnjim dot com Reported by: jim dot michaels at Jesusnjim dot com Summary: enhanced chm uses up huge disk space Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Doc Build problem Operating System: vista32,pae amd PHP Version: 7.1.0alpha1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: please note that I did not extract the chm. I have no desire to. I ran it again and it does not do this anymore. so maybe Microsoft fixed the problem. beware of temp file cleaners, they rip out installed software in the process. programmers and engineers are not doing the right thing with the %temp% directory (yeah, you can put this in the address bar of windows-e). it's for short-term temporary use. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-07-02 10:51:20] cmb@php.net I have just downloaded php_enhanced_en.chm, and wasn't able to reproduce the described behavior (Windows 10). Actually, the CHM opens instanteneously here. > please uncopyright the docs and php, and the web site. I'm not sure which problem that would solve in your opinion, but it's rather unlikely to happen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-07-02 10:04:11] jim dot michaels at Jesusnjim dot com there's nothing short about this "script" (HTML). windows seems to be scanning for and extracting every zip file on the hard drive and putting it into %temp%, especially when I run this extended chm. eliminate the .zip files in the project and see if it works with just running HTML Help 5.0 on it. bug in their docs? please uncopyright the docs and php, and the web site. send copyright.gov the cancellation. thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-23 15:27:22] cmb@php.net > the thousands of zip files that are in the chm get extracted > into %temp% I don't understand why you extract the CHM file.

Please open a separate ticket for this issue, and supply a minimal self-contained test script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-23 04:59:46] jim dot michaels at Jesusnjim dot com Description: ------------ the thousands of zip files that are in the chm get extracted into %temp% (you can put that into the breadcrumb menu/address bar of windows explorer) and chew up huge amounts of space and get left there. the sheer amount of dirs make a simple directory listing about 15sec to do that. just look at the range of folder's properties to get disk space used. 37GB. 1 zip file with lots of stuff in the archive (can take trees) takes up less disk space than a whole bunch of little ones, which consume a partial sector and then the rest of the space is wasted*nFiles... zip and lzma compression do high compression on html or text. also, php is not working correctly, scripts don't run right in 71a1 or earlier. is there a %2 bug in the c++ compiler's source tree? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72475&edit=1
