Sorry... I am having the same problem. When mapped to a nearby machine on the same subnet the program works with little or no delay. When mapped to a drive across the VPN on another subnet the program still hangs when using the right hand window but not the left. I have tested using two different VPN connections to two separate subnets. FYI, I mapped drive is on a
Windows 2003 server the other is on a Netapp NAS server and the problem is identical.

Oh, very surprising. I'll dive back into it...

Same problem for me too...

Just a remark:
The browsing using the treeview is quick.
The browsing using the list view (right panel with files and folders) is quick if I use the keyboard to navigate (up/down/enter/etc.)
The browsing using the list view (right panel with files and folders) is slow if I use the mouse to navigate. A click (just a single click, not a double click) on a file or a folder takes several seconds or does not respond (no effect).

That looks like an important hint, but I don't yet fully understand: how exactly do you navigate by mouse with single clicks?

I do not navigate into folders by mouse with single click, I just select files and folders.
And when I am in a network drive, if I click (single click) on a folder in the list view (right panel) to select it, it may take several seconds.
If I click on the next or previous folder, it may also take several seconds.
But I can go to the next or previous folder using keyboard (up/down key) in a few ms only (sometime several hundred of ms)

About double click, if a use this method on network drive to navigate into folders in the list view, the action is often not taken into account, and XYplorer is frozen several seconds.

2 more questions:
- Do you have the Preview panel open when single clicks are slow, or are they always slow?
- Are clicks on all file types slow, or only particular file types?

No, I do not use the preview panel

I am at home just now and I cannot test it. The network drive is at office. I remember that clicks on folder are slower than clicks on files.

@JML13: Okay, may I send you a special test version to your forum email address (if you receuve that at office)? This would help me to track down the source of the delay.

@subnet99: same question to you...

Yes of course, no problem.

Cool. I did not find the time today to prepare it but it will come soon...

BTW, you do not "Show folder size on Properties tab"?? That would explain such a slowness easily...

Funnily enough I still find that the worst culprit for network browsing delay is the "Auto-refresh on file system changes > Include network locations". That one option gives me a 1 second delay every time I change directory on a network share.

What's so funny about that?
