Don, what have you done? (the Anti-Bug!)

[JLoftus]

hee hee.. This post may well be more suited for the "Reviews" sub-forum, as it's a rave... but, since it appears to be something new [???] I thought I'd post this in the bug reports as an Anti-Bug !!!

Don, what the heck have you done with this new build??!? It's FANTASTIC!!

The release notes say the typical "minor bug fixes and improvements" ... but...

I've long been dismayed by some phantom operations latency... virtually any time I would do anything, I'd suffer an interminable delay (sometimes even SECONDS!) before the hourglass went away and I'd get control back to my list view. I routinely do many "file transformations", file renaming, format converting (FLAC to WAV, WAV to FLAC, etc) and almost always, I'd see an hourglass for anywhere from a few seconds to maybe 10 or 15 seconds (all while operating in a local folder, on a crazy fast system, NVMe SSD, overclocked Octacore i7, 32GB RAM, etc).

With version 17.30.0110 these phantom latencies are completely gone!

I'm going to guess you will say "I've made no changes which could explain this" ... as well the same here, save for maybe a Windows 10 update or three. Regardless,...

@JLoftus:
Sounds like my bug reported here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7329#p143930
If the delays start again, enable both Panes and close all tabs that point to stale network locations. This fixed it for me!

[JLoftus]

Thanks. My standard operating mode is dual pane, both are always shown, and as a matter of practice, I am very cognizant of network resources which may not be available on next start - of which I have essentially none. I have several network shares that are available 24x7 and almost always at least one of them is an open tab in XY. The one share has several thousand folders, totaling several TB worth of data, and I am more thinking it has to do with "folder size", although I've experimented with caching and even completely turning all folder size options and columns off, I would still often see a long delay on file operations (right click, delete/rename, etc). This would happen even with local folders. This "hang" appears to have completely gone away, maybe somewhere along the way I changed some setting in XY to "Fix" it, not sure. Thanks again for the post.
