Delay After Subfolder Creation or Rename

[Tom]

Thanks, Don!

What is this:

SHChangeNotify = Yes

I can't find it in the config file.

In testing, I have found that not all folders show the delay in new subfolder creation, but all show the rename delay. Does that tell you anything? Any other ideas?

hold CTRL and click Help | Various Information, here you find some places to look at.

@Don: I keep forgetting this hidden gem myself. This is useful, could it be made visible in the menu? Like Optimization tips or something?

It's really just for debugging.

Thank you, JC, for the link!

I already have Real-time protection off, automatic scanning off, C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer in the "do not scan there files or locations" section.

I tried a clean install of XY and that worked fine. I loaded my config file into the clean install and none of my tabs showed up. Aren't they stored with the config file?

That may explain it: you need to exclude the XYplorer.exe and XYcopy.exe-processes rather than the location where they're stored.

Tabs are stored in the Panes-subfolder of the Application Data Folder.

I can only find this reference:

Code: Select all

v4.40.0000 - 2005-11-26 19:15
    + Configuration: redesigned the "Auto-refresh on file system changes" 
      section. Now you can specify in a very detailed way what you want 
      to be watched and where.
      For your interest as a programmer:
      - "Watch current path and subtree on: Local drives/Network drives" 
        uses the FindFirstChangeNotification API.
      - "Watch non-current locations: Folders/Removable drives" uses the 
        SHChangeNotify API.
      Tip: if you are using the network a lot you might encounter 
      dramatic speed differences related to these settings.
        Note that auto-refresh concerns exclusively changes triggered 
      from other processes. If you disable it completely, XYplorer 
      should still correctly update the display with regard to its own 
      file operations. I say should... some things might have slipt 
      through...

Refers to the tweak DisableSHChangeNotifyRegister.

I have excluded those two files, as well. The explanation under the real-time protection exclusion indicated that all files and folders under the selected directory would be excluded.

Tabs are stored in the Panes-subfolder of the Application Data Folder.

What is the proper way to do a clean install and then reload your existing configuration, tabs, etc?

Thanks you for all the suggestions and help!

In case of XY this is a contradiction (because it is not "installed" in the usual sense in registry etc.). Either clean install or previous config. All your config is in the app data folder.

Don,

I'm trying to track down the delay issue. With a clean install, I have no delay. When I add in my tabs, configs, catalogs, etc, I have the delay.

I've been thru the debug thing (CTRL Help/Various Information) to no avail.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thank you !!
