Performance on network drives

[admin]

Thanks...

Do you note a difference now?

Sorry... I am having the same problem. When mapped to a nearby machine on the same subnet the program works with little or no delay. When mapped to a drive across the VPN on another subnet the program still hangs when using the right hand window but not the left. I have tested using two different VPN connections to two separate subnets. FYI, I mapped drive is on a
Windows 2003 server the other is on a Netapp NAS server and the problem is identical.

Oh, very surprising. I'll dive back into it...

Same problem for me too...

Just a remark:
The browsing using the treeview is quick.
The browsing using the list view (right panel with files and folders) is quick if I use the keyboard to navigate (up/down/enter/etc.)
The browsing using the list view (right panel with files and folders) is slow if I use the mouse to navigate. A click (just a single click, not a double click) on a file or a folder takes several seconds or does not respond (no effect).

That looks like an important hint, but I don't yet fully understand: how exactly do you navigate by mouse with single clicks?

I do not navigate into folders by mouse with single click, I just select files and folders.
And when I am in a network drive, if I click (single click) on a folder in the list view (right panel) to select it, it may take several seconds.
If I click on the next or previous folder, it may also take several seconds.
But I can go to the next or previous folder using keyboard (up/down key) in a few ms only (sometime several hundred of ms)

About double click, if a use this method on network drive to navigate into folders in the list view, the action is often not taken into account, and XYplorer is frozen several seconds.

Okidoki, thanks! Let's see if I get it right this time...

2 more questions:
- Do you have the Preview panel open when single clicks are slow, or are they always slow?
- Are clicks on all file types slow, or only particular file types?

No, I do not use the preview panel

- Are clicks on all file types slow, or only particular file types?

I am at home just now and I cannot test it. The network drive is at office. I remember that clicks on folder are slower than clicks on files.

@JML13: Okay, may I send you a special test version to your forum email address (if you receuve that at office)? This would help me to track down the source of the delay.

@subnet99: same question to you...

Yes of course, no problem.

Cool. I did not find the time today to prepare it but it will come soon...

BTW, you do not "Show folder size on Properties tab"?? That would explain such a slowness easily...

Funnily enough I still find that the worst culprit for network browsing delay is the "Auto-refresh on file system changes > Include network locations". That one option gives me a 1 second delay every time I change directory on a network share.

What's so funny about that?
