Right-clicking the list and choosing Unselect All woudl have achieved the same.
itsme28m wrote:Update 2: i solved the biggest problem, but there is still another problem: in the root directory, i don't get the information, i only get Len, then it just displays under that "Label, tags, comment", but with no information.
In a subdir i get the name, itemtype, filesize, how long the media file plays, with the good information included. So there seems to be a bug with file tips within the root directory i believe???
LOL, i didn't thought about that option because of the stress i had about the 25% cpu usage and 10 seconds freeze time.
Another thing i noticed: pure for testing, i checked back all the options on but disabled the option show custom file info tips, then i went to the network drive, and the problem is thesame on the network drive, so i guess it has nothing to do with my external drive anyway. The biggest problem seems to be with larger video files. For example, on a file of about 70MB it shows correct information, on a 600MB+ video file the cpu goes to 25% and about 10 seconds freeze, both in the root dir.

Nope, no freeze in a non-root dir, i just see that you had a new beta with this fix: Default File Info Tips did not show correctly for files in drive roots. Fixed.
If you fixed this good, so not displaying more information then realy is setup in the custom file info tips (so when the main option is disabled, don't show the custom file tips) then i guess the 25% cpu usage in the root dir is also solved.
I think the 25% cpu usage with the 10 seconds freeze is becauze the info tip is trying to display 299 info settings in the file, at the moment i can only fix this by disabling every sub-option, only disabling the main option does not help. The weird thing is that it then displays no information at all, while in sub-dirs it displays the small information that i actually like to see.
Do you think there could be another reason of the 25%cpu usage and the 10 seconds freeze in the root dir?
Edit: can somebody else check this out? do the following:
- Go to tools, configuration
- Disable the option "show custom file info tips", right-click the sub-options and choose select all.
- Click ok
Place some video files for a size more then +/- 600MB. Copy them, don't move them.
Now hover over those files, do you also get a 25%cpu usage with about 10 seconds freeze of xyplorer, because of trying to show 299 file info tips?
Now go to the other non-root directory where the original files are, hover over those video files, there i don't have that problem and the info tips work fine.
Edit: Now i changed the options again in a good way:
- Show File info check is enabled
- Show custom file info tips enabled
- Only check the ones you need, for me i checked 12 options (from 0 to 5, option 27 and from 282 to 286), and clicked ok
With doing this, i had the right info without freeze/high cpu in both root-dir and sub-dirs.

With show custom file info unchecked and the rest checked seems to disable everything like it should be also.
Another question about this: if you enable to show every single tip in the custom file info, is it then normal that xyplorer freezes for about 10 seconds and high cpu usage? or is that because of a broken movie file or some codecs it's harder to extract the info from?

That is takes long with large movie files is an age old issue (apparently certain information can only be retrieved by scanning the whole file). One day I'll put this in a background thread and the problem is gone.

Isn't the best thing rather that you don't have to go hunting for another file manager and keep using the best???

I'm running XP Sp3 with xyplorer 11.80 and I get frequent freezes. I'm not sure if they only last 10 sec because I usually go to task manager and juts manually kill the process and then restart it. This is a fairly recent development and I used to run 11.70 and upgraded to see if it solved my problem which it doesn't
I use emsisift anti-malware for my AV but I really don't think that's the issue. I can kill the process, restart it, and the immediately on selecting a file again have this occur. Not sure if it's a coincidence but happens many times when selecting pdf files.
What steps can I take to trouble shoot the problem?

Try to turn off File Info Tips in configuration. It looks like your issue is caused by a "bad" shell extension that attempts to grab some extended info from PDF (and probably other) files when you hover it with the mouse.

thank you.. I just did that and will report back in a few days if that resolved my issue.
