It does feel faster, but I wasn't sure if I was imagining it. How did you measure this to be sure there is an actual difference?
It's a certain drawing function that's completely screwed in Win7, and I finally found the time to work around it. So Win7 XYplorer is now as fast as XP XYplorer has always been. The function is used in hundreds of contexts, so it is impossible to give an overall report on the speed improvement.

You can use Process Explorer from

It shows the cycles consumed by any running process. In real-time :ugeek:

It would make for a strange changelog entry...

Thank you for the kind words, though. :)

Code: Select all

v11.20.0003 - 2012-05-29 20:29
  %%% Completely rewrote transparent image drawing with speed gains in 
      XP and more notably in Win7. No effect in pre-Win 2000 systems.
    + Configuration | Thumbnails: Now you can choose between various 
      display styles. The new Style dropdown offers 5 styles:
        - Plain
        - Box
        - Frame
        - Shadow
        - Frame with Shadow
      The last one is the new factory default.
Thumbnails deluxe on their way ..... :) :appl:

I made for you. Kind of. If you hadn't ask I'd never tried to do it again. I had failed so often at this.

Its not that nobody likes these things, its just that most of us are OK with however it was previously as it does not affect productivity or workflow.
But I do appreciate how nice it looks now. :D
