Re: File Info Tips with many .avi files causes Xyplorer to hang

What happens is if you hover a whole bunch of files, XYplorer will stop responding because your CPU is working 100% to fetch the information... then Vista thinks the application has stopped responding and asks you if you want to close it. I don't understand why it takes so much power when Properties > Details displays the information so easily (I assume it's the same info).

It's no biggie since it can be turned off, I just think it should be off by default, given the likelihood of it causing XYplorer to lag out.
test everything. hold on to the good.

I use a certain Windows system function to retrieve these values. It's the "official way" to do this. No idea why it takes so long on some systems. I never had any such problem on my system with AVIs.

I would turn it off by default if the majority of Vista users have this problem. But I don't think this is the case.

it's just a guess, but this might be caused by the codecs used by those avi files.
i noticed that after i installed a new codec pack, the tips started taking longer to load, but they show more info than before.
