XY plorer does not like directories with many subdirs...

Post by LGS »

For any (probably bad) reason I had a temp directory within my X1 index directory with more than 100K subdirs. (not good, I know..)

Just to mention that XY plorer remained stuck when I tried to select all the directories (Ctrl A) in order to delete them.

I had to kill the unresponding XYplorer session and revert to windows explorer to get it done.

just for info, X1 is an indexer tool based on file content (not only file name) with built in viewer.

Update to the current beta and try again and just to make sure: XYplorer.exe is excluded from your Antivirus engine?

Thank You !
Cant try now because all the directories have been killed. Will try next time such a case occurs.
I cannot change the antivirus settings as they are managed by the company. Might ask the IT guys to do it.
