Re: The FinderOuter, a bitcoin recovery tool (v0.18.0 2023-06-23)
Hi dev, a suggestion : could you make it so the user could select how many threads to be used? Since it uses everything a CPU can offer, usually it just hangs if the load is too much, unless you go to task manager on windows and limit CPU usage, but having an option to set one time and the ability to save the user settings would be great.
https://github.com/Coding-Enthusiast/FinderOuter/commit/09466f3e9fe2b57fa158c1f61add98e15cb6973dThis was added under an expander on the side with the name "Settings" that will allow you to set the number of threads the parallel loops use based on the number of cores .net can detect.
The max value here may not be accurate in case the system has more than one processor group or has CPU utilization limit. I'll probably add an override option to go beyond that limit as a more advanced feature since going beyond the thread limit could potentially slow down the process.
This also needs some guides on how it should be used etc. in our KnowledgeBase page which I'll add before v0.19.0 is released.
