Local .rrd files load via the Viewer catalog by default
The Viewer catalog now loads local .rrd files by default, making the complete recording navigable almost instantly while chunks load on demand.
This makes it possible to directly load recordings that are larger-than-RAM.
Using the same feature, the web viewer can now also load files that are larger then the Wasm-addressable memory.
Note, currently the Viewer catalog comes with some (minor) limitation around blueprints:
- Embedded default blueprints still work, but only the last
send_blueprint(..., make_default=True)is loaded into the catalog. make_active-only blueprints and blueprints sent after the file opens are not applied to its catalog-backed recording.
To restore the previous behavior, you can opt out under Settings → Viewer catalog → Load files via Viewer catalog. If you choose to do so, we'd love to hear your feedback on how to better accommodate your workflows!
