Hi

I love the new fileCache node, but I have a question regarding batching of saves.

First, the vanilla new filecache node implies that there is a difference in saving if you are dealing with a sim or not, as there is a "simulation" toggle. What does this do exactly? I don't see any difference when I save whether it's on or off. I assume this would allow you to run multiple concurrent saves in the BG if it's off, but I don't see this happening nor do I see any way to control the number of instances spawned.

The LABS file cache does seem to do this properly, but when I run a non-sim cache in the BG, the TOPS interface does not update to reflect the fact that there are four caches going on the the BG. Is this a bug or limitation? Attached is a screen grab where you can see the four processes in the shell, but nothning indicates this in the node itself.
