Anybody any hang issues with v15.10.0003?
Anybody any error message issues with v15.10.0003?

Hm, with 0003 I am not noticing any improvements form pre-0002.

I am just now as I write experiencing a "hang" after clicking on a tab with a location on a currently non-running NAS. Aha, this hang is now over - after some 4 minutes or so. For me, 0002 was a better solution, but obviously unacceptable due to LittleBig's experience.

Also, I am having an impression that response time on existing locations in my LAN has worsened. But, this may be entirely subjective, or have other causes.

However, I find the implementation of my suggestion on nonexisting levels in long paths very nice - thanks.

I don't think it got worse. But I hoped it got better. Well, it's tricky, and when you search the web you will quickly see: Thousands of programmers tried to solve this and none ever succeeded completely (not even Explorer, you just don't note it because of multithreading). Nevertheless, I clearly improved the speed dramatically for *some* situations in v15.10.0002 and v15.10.0003, at least on my Win8.1 system.

Question: When you do this: Do you see a complete/uncomplete list of all/some available network locations??

I would say that I see the complete list. It is the same as what MS WE (am now on WinXP) shows under

Netzwerkumgebung > Gesamtes Netzwerk > Microsoft Windows-Netzwerk > <MyWorkgroup> >

I believe you very much about the complexity and problems. Having no threading is a handicap and you probably are most frustrated about it (at least I would be).

I hope for some improvement and wish you a good luck.

Yes, error message, when I go up or back. The difference from 0002 that the delay before the error message is longer now. :-(
By the way, if I use the Breadcrumb Bar and click on the parent folder name (or click on the parent folder name in the Tree), I don't get the error message. Only by the navigation buttons and the double click on the white space.

Could you show me the error message please?

And this error is wrong? The location IS available? What happens when you click OK?

Of course it is wrong. If I can go down in a folder structure I expect to be able to go back without error message. :-)
After I click OK, XY enters (goes back to) the folder correctly.

Weird.

Do you see the server listed when you do this?

Code: Select all

text runret("net view", <xypath>);

No, I don't, because this shows only the computers which are in the same office with me.

When you right-click the Network node in the Tree and select "Browse for Network Server..." do you see all servers or only the ones in your office?

Yup... I checked it now also in a somewhat larger network. XY apparently enumerates the computer resources only in a workgroup to which the computer on which it is running belongs. Computers from other workgroups - which I for instance see in MS WE under Win7 - are not in the list of XY.

At my place: all of them - also those in other workgroups.

OK, too bad. That means the recent changes are crap. Waste of time. I will revert the code.

A last try. In the next beta (v15.10.0004) please try these two script lines: 1. Do they generate a complete list of servers (all workgroups)?
2. Are they slow?
3. Are they slow only the first time?
4. Which is faster?
