Selecting exe files for IE9 installer takes ages in the List

Could it be that this is since yesterday? Could you recheck with the last official version (10.10.0000)?

I'll try with the portable version of 10.10.0000 when I'm back home and get a chance. But this issue I first noticed about a week ago, so I don't think it's something that's just been introduced.

OK. To check if it is related to icon retrieval (a usual suspect) you can use the new "Apply to all controls" (generic icons) option and see whether it's faster then.

I've done some more testing.

With v10.00 (as 10.10.0000 is not available in the Freezer), the problem is exactly the same as in the latest versions I've been using, including v10.10.0100.

Using v10.10.0100, I've now enabled generic icons, including for "all controls". So now I'm not seeing any pretty icons on any files. However, the exact same problem still persists. When I select either of these IE9 executables in the list, I can hear the hard drive reading the full contents of the files before XYplorer becomes responsive again. So it looks like we can rule out icon retrieval.

Can't confirm with 10.10.0100 on Windows 7 x64 SP1 and the full version of IE9-Windows7-x64-enu.exe: both my regular as well as a clean profile don't show this problem.

Are you testing with the files on a local hard drive, where they're probably getting read in full in 1 second? I'm experiencing this on a network drive (USB hard drive attached to router), where transferring the files takes about 10 seconds. Thus I'm able to tell that XYplorer is transferring the full file each time I select one.

OK: your finding is since at least 10.00, XYplorer needs to read the entire file for some .exe's but not others, when displaying it in the List?

Does it make any difference what View the List is in (Details, Details with Thumbnails, List, etc.)?

Do the .exe's that don't show this problem, have a digital signature (as the IE setup programs do)?

No, I've just tried a few different view settings and it makes no difference.

Yes, in a folder full of installation packages for various different programs, many/most of them have digital signatures, but it seems only these 2 IE files have the problem.

Try to turn off file info tips. Does it make a difference?

Does it happen also with a fresh installation of XY?

Mystery.

Does it happen with normal explorer ? Also, if I were you I'd also run the portable version of explorer++ and check if it happens with that.

Also, searching XY's options for "network" I see several options, who knows, one might help.
