XYplorer Beta Club
I've noticed XY will often hang for a few dozens of seconds, to minutes, if any network resources aren't available. For instance, I have some mapped network drives, which are mapped to \\machinename\share\. When I'm at the office, this machine is visible just fine and XY works as expected. However, if I go home and login through the VPN, these shares aren't available since over VPN I need to use a fully qualified domain name as the mapping (\\machinename.fully.qualified.domain\share). Almost any operation causes XY to freeze for a while, rendering it unusable.
I know I can just change the drive mapping to include the qualified domain name, but there are other situations where this is happening where the domain name is not a factor.
What I'm interested in is seeing if there is a setting which will prevent these lockups from happening?

Re: Intermittent hangs
Have you tried going to the "Tools->Configuration->Startup & Exit" settings page, and then selecting "Cache network servers" and possibly "No network browsing on startup" options? They might do just what you need...diarrhio wrote:I've noticed XY will often hang for a few dozens of seconds, to minutes, if any network resources aren't available.
