Managing Temporary Files Cached in the Overlay

In the Cached Content tab you will see all

the files currently cached in the RAM overlay

with three commands you may execute:

Commit will save a file from the cache to

permanent storage, deleting

the file from the

overlay and overwriting the original.

Restore will return the file to its original

state,

removing it from the overlay cache and

discarding the changes that caused it to be

added to the cache.

Add to exclusion list adds the file to the

exclusion list after the next restart. Because

this makes the file read-only,

if it is executed

on the wrong file it may render your system

or particular applications inoperable.

2. The most common usage of the Cache

Content filter will likely be to permanently

write content to the hard drive. To do this,

select the file you wish to write to

permanent memory and click on the

commit button. This will delete the file from

the cached overlay and replace the current

file in permanent storage with the modified

cache file.

Users should understand that if they commit

a configuration or application file, they will

be permanently altering the setup and/or

performance of the application or system.
