How to start XYplorer faster?

[MIRKOSOFT]

Hi!

Longer time ago XYplorer offered me faster start - I do not remember what was my choice.
Now, last week or so XYplorer starts very slowly.

How to make start faster or very fast?

Thank you for each help.

Reduce your mini tree / expansions inside of it

Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | [ ] Check existence of subfolders in tree
and "Get folder sizes" doesn't help as well^^

[MIRKOSOFT]

Mini tree is not in use.
I'm using on left pane catalogs, right pane preview, two file/folder panes and properties, of course modified toolbar.

So,needs it mini tree?

Then open your XYplorer.ini file with a modern text editor, close XYplorer
and delete everything in this key

Code: Select all

MiniTreePaths=...

[MIRKOSOFT]

Fantastic!
Works perfectly and fast!

Thank you very very much!

Reduce your Maxi tree? Alternative: Use a (locked) mini tree and feed it with only the necessary parts (for each project) via scripting...

The nasty one is actually "Enumerating Network Servers", so I would rather play with the settings in the "General/Controls and More/Network" section to reduce the current 10+ minutes XY spends on this task.
Assume that servers exist and Cache Network Servers would be my first choices to check and see whether they solve the problem. As they all come with some drawbacks you might want to read up on them in the help to see whether you can live with theirs, once you identified the ones that help your startup time.
I had some slow startup times in the past myself but nothing compared to yours - my slow ones were about 2 minutes.

[mrbosco]

Thank you.
I will try.

[MarkEhrhardt]

I had the 30 sec slow startup due to "Enumerating Network Servers" and those 2 settings resolved my problem.
Many, many thanks!
