Feature Suggestion: Separate rebuild file cache from applications

[vestingz]

Hi,

I am rebuilding my cache via the pacman hook, so everytime I am installing a package, I have to wait a little bit extra until the pacman process finally finishes. This is probably due the 15k files I am accessing remotely through rclone.
Would it be possible to separate the files from applications during the cache rebuilding process, e.g. dmenu_extended_cache_build --apps and dmenu_extended_cache_build --files?

Thank you & stay safe!

Nice, I don't see why not. I like the idea in principal. I think the default behavior should stay the same when neither is specified, but yes why not allow the user to filter by type?
I'm not sure if I'll have time to implement this, but I'd be happy to merge that functionality in.

Great, thank you for considering it! :)
