Drill down object listing using Bucket Explorer

Now Bucket Explorer saves state of recently visited objects. This feature will give fast data listing experience to its user and avoid listing from beginning if pagination is set for listing and user explore any folder and come back to same location. Earlier Bucket Explorer version used to list the objects from Amazon S3 on every request, which made object listing slower. To overcome this, Bucket Explorer preserves last visited state, So when listing requires for same virtual part, it lists faster than earlier listing.

State save mechanism facilitates these benefits to user :

  • Reduce the prices - As number of requests for listing is reduced.
  • Reduces listing time - Listing of content is performed faster as the listing is retrieved from saved state.
  • Avoid listing from beginning if explore any folder after listing 2-3 pages, in the case of pagination.

Fast Listing with Drill Down
  • Bucket Explorer saves the state of object, which is requested to list from Amazon S3 and shows them in the panel. Bucket Explorer retrieves these objects from local instead of getting list from Amazon S3 for the same level if it is already listed.
  • If user wants to list objects from Amazon S3 then click on Refresh button for  that level to get listed from S3 means objects recently added or deleted in that folder get listed from S3.
  • When you click on another bucket for listing the saved state information vanishes for earlier bucket.
  • Drill Down is implemented for Object listing in folder view at Main Panel and Transfer Panel.
