Why if I fork a mod, the symbols are loaded anew?

[Anixx]

Would not it be better to share the symbols between mods?

A forked mod is an independent, separate mod, as far as Windhawk is concerned. When forked, it's an exact copy, but it can be modified to require different symbols. Optimizations can be added to reuse symbols if they weren't changed, but I'm not sure it's worth the complication.

I thought the symbols are loaded once for all mods and shared...

[m417z]

The symbol files are shared, but mods from the repository use the symbol cache, which means they don't need to download symbols most of the time. In this case, symbols are only downloaded when forked.

Ah, thanks, it's clear now.
