XYplorer slow to open
For the last several builds of 15, mainly betas, XYplorer has often been slow to open here after not being open for awhile, taking anywhere from ~10 seconds on up to a lot longer. My first thought was the SSD's power settings (Win 8.1 x64), but why all of a sudden didn't make sense. Now I've confirmed it happens right after reboots too. As I recall, this started with 15 not 14 betas, but I'm not 100% sure. Any ideas? Thanks,

Re: XYplorer slow to open
One other possibility is that it came as the result of a system restore, although I thought it started before that. There was a problem with another program that occurred after that restore, which ultimately required a reinstall of it.

Re: XYplorer slow to open
The other thing I've encountered for a long time, for at least a year or two and quite consistently, is that the program is slow to close. So slow that it typically takes two clicks on the X, with a few seconds of waiting in between, before it closes. Sometimes the X will show in red, which means the click has registered, but it still sometimes takes a few seconds to react, such as when Comodo's scan is running (once/wk). This continued even after a clean reinstall of Win 8.1 and the program (Dec).

Cannot confirm. Start is always fast here (< 400 msec), and close is as instantaneous as can be.

Start: reported 400-650msec
(1 Tab per pane, both show Computer, i.e. topmost entry in tree.
Shown: 4 local drives, 3 NAS shares, 1 [empty] DVD)
End: guessed 100ms (No Save Settings )
If your Save Settings should be slow, you maybe have a harddisk problem?
So: nothing to complain about.

Re: XYplorer slow to open
I see the slow start up, but not the slow close...
The slow start up only happens the first time XY is launched after a reboot (i.e. usually first thing in the morning). This morning it took just over 30 secs. The process xyplorer.exe (in Win Task Man) usually shows up right away, it's just the GUI part that takes a long time. I'm not using MiniTree, but I do have lots of other customizations. I have a bare-bones xyplorer.ini profile (without all my customizations). I call it XYskinny.ini. I'll make a desktop shortcut to it, so I can launch it first thing tomorrow and report back it there's as much of a delay in opening.
Question: I know that antiviruses can cause delays.. Is it possible that having xy customizations such as scripted Custom Columns could exasperate this?? I mean, are those customizations "extra" things that have to be approved by the antivirus on start up?
EDIT: I did a reboot and launched my XYskinny profile. That was definitely NOT a fix... It took almost 2 minutes to launch. I'm actually wondering, if using the /ini=xyskinny.ini switch adds an extra layer of computer processing that I have to wait for... I should also point out that many of my apps take a long time to load after reboot--so this is not just an "xy thing." And yes, I do let the machine fully load Windows and all my 3rd party background utilities before trying to launch xy and other stuff.
PS: I have separate icons for "xyplorer.ini" and "xyskinny.ini." See if you can guess which is which...

Re: XYplorer slow to open
I've posted about this a few times, that the first run after booting is a bit slow, but after that is fast the rest of the time.
In my case, it may be due to having my networked XP computer off most of the time, so when XYplorer starts on my Win 7 system it takes a whlie to figure out what is going on.

Re: XYplorer slow to open
My other programs aren't slow to start after a (cold) startup, so why XYplorer? OTOH, I've assumed the quicker starts after that are cache related.rd7770 wrote:I've posted about this a few times, that the first run after booting is a bit slow, but after that is fast the rest of the time.

Re: XYplorer slow to open
The next beta will have means to investigate this. If recent developments are responsible for a slow down at start up (under certain yet unknown conditions) we will eventually track them down and fix what can be fixed.

You mean before "Load Done"?
Read: at point "489 ms" add duration "4 ms" (the duration of "Init 2") = point "492 ms" (ok, rounding error)
492 ms is the final point. Nothing more is added.
You mean before "Load Done"?
Code: Select all
489 ms: 4 ms - Init 2
492 ms: - Load Done
492 ms is the final point. Nothing more is added.
