Slow startup

[Jerry]

I know this is an old post, but I thought I would let all know that I found a fix, and xyplorer starts instantly now.
In the startup configuration menu I selected "do not browse network on startup", and that fixed the horrible watch the grass grow startup.
Thanks to all who assisted

I think it's very good of you to follow up! I thought I would add another helpful tip here for avoiding startup delays: For exiting XYplorer, I use a custom toolbar button with the following script:

Code: Select all

if (confirm("Close unlocked tabs, reset tree and EXIT XYplorer WITH SAVING?") == 1 ) {#352; #516; #192;}

For my purposes, all I want to do here is to close all unlocked tabs, reset the tree back to a preset minimal Favorite Mini Tree with nothing expanded, no network paths, no unattached drives, and then exit with saving of the entire current configuration.

That way, when I next start up XYplorer, it doesn't have to wait on any external resources. (I have XYplorer configured to start up with the last tree and pane state.) This technique also gives you a working template on which to add/customize this behavior further when/if needed.
