Loss of time when reinstalling libraries

[rrosin]

Every time I install an already downloaded SDX, EZX or the core library the Product Manager checks the integrity of the downloaded files, which takes quite a lot of time at sizes of 20 or 40 GB for one chunk. It would be great to have an option to skip this procedure.

I don’t understand. If you already have the files downloaded and just click Install in Product Manager, it does not check the integrity of the downloaded files.

I just reinstalled the core library yesterday and the Product Manager checked every single chunk before installing.

It only does that as part of the download process, i.e., if you clicked Download. You may have had to click Download if Product Manager had “lost track” of the downloaded files. That can happen if the disk where your downloads are located has been unavailable (not connected) some time when Product Manager was started/activated.

Sometimes the button says “Install”, sometimes “Download”. I am not sure what it was yesterday, but when it says “Download” in the popup “Install” is greyed out too. In this case a – in my eyes – useless check is made.
