Question: Are the concepts of windowCapacity and memoryAlignment applicable to file-downloading or are they only applicable to file-uploading

[ksidirop-laerdal]

I noticed that there's an asymmetry between the way we initiate a file-uploading vs file-downloading. To illustrate my point:

• In file-uploading we have:

_uploadController = new FileUploader(
   fileSystemManager,
   remoteFilePath,
   data,
   windowCapacity,     <-----
   memoryAlignment   <-----
).uploadAsync(_fileUploaderCallbackProxy);

• In file-downloading we have:

_downloadingController = _fileSystemManager.fileDownload(remoteFilePath, new FileDownloaderCallbackProxy());

I can't see any way to specify the window-capacity or the memory-alignment parameters on the file-downloading operation.

Am I missing something obvious or is this to be expected because these two notions don't apply to file-downloads?

Appreciate any insights.

The memoryAlignment parameter is indeed valid only for the transmitter (so only when uploading, or on the device side when downloading to a phone), but we could think of this window capacity. I don't even know it that's supported by the firmware in the current SDKs... I think it should be, never tested.
