All three commands, even when new instance of xyplorer is executed, if "generic icons" is on or off. It opens the window with the content immendiately. NO any delay. Decimal separator is ","

Hm, looks like the enumeration is fast for everyone with all methods (flag 2 being the fastest). So I wonder where the slowness comes from. Could everyone show a screenshot of Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History, or at least look at this one:

Try if unchecking "Enable custom file icons" makes a difference.

As Jupe already "asked", is XYplorer excluded from all Antivirus engines on your computer?

It does not. :cry:

It was not excluded. I did exclude it (from Avast). Still no difference whatsoever. :/

Navigate into one of those "slow" network folders first

Post the output of this script afterwards:

Code: Select all

text columnlayout(, "get");
Additionally, make a copy of your XYplorer.ini file, rename it to XYplorer.xys, remove the license information of the latter one and attach it to your next post

Columns look ok, no status bar template, no custom event actions on folder change...

A fresh, non-configured instance is also slow (after the network enumeration is done)?

OK, this is starting to get interesting. I will include some debugging info in the next beta. The goal is to identify the line that causes the problem :twisted: It will take several versions to get to it, but success is guaranteed and then fixing it will be a breeze.
