Features

Tab Cache

Tab Cache provides list of recipes and packages, that are installed in the local cache. By selecting one of the recipes or packages, user can see more detailed information, such as description, compiler, architecture, version, build_type and further more.

Another important feature for Windows users is information about the data path and the actual package path. This feature saves time for Windows users due to the path separation between the data and the package itself. The package will be stored in the same path as the data path, it only save the reference link, that points to the other directory.
