Feature request: replot to pools

Open TheGoblinHero opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Official pooling protocol wil be released soon™. I'd like the feature to automatically replot from the old plots to the new ones (delete the old format plot, create a new one in it's place, repeat).

let's get pool support added first (when it comes out next week). Then will need to workout how to detect old vs new plot format.

Unfortunately portable plots have the same file names. The only idea I have is to analyze the plot creation time in the file name and replot files that are older than the defined date.

how about just do a simple one, we create a new folder in the same drive for new plot in the json option files, let us specify the old plot path and new plot path once a new plot nearly done, delete one of the old one and start copy the new one

my current thinking is to allow the user to specify a cutoff date in the config.json and PlotNG will look at the filename of the plot files and anyone before the cutoff date is then a candidate for deletion to make room for new plots. However, it will need to make room before the plot starts.
