XYplorer Beta Club

Hi Don,

hope you've had a good XMas time.

In the list pane I use a click-on-white script (CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite_Script) to show the favorite folders and files. When my Favorites (folders) contain some network shares ("\\server\share") it takes ages until the menu pops up.

I guess that's because every item is evaluated for existence (otherwise the "?"-icon couldn't be set for a missing location). Since the popup time sums up for every share not available (of which I have a few by now), that's really a pita!
Of course, I thought that's due to the Assume that servers are available-flag not set. But checking that flag doesn't cure it.

It can be easily reproduced using the SmartDropDown approach (the affected script uses this pattern). Is this a bug? If not, could the SDD-logic be adapted to support that flag?


Thanks,
Filehero

Hi Don,

first of all, have a good start into 2017. I hope you could have finish the tedious icon rescaling job in order to get back to what you like much more: thinking about and implementing killer features.

Is there any chance that the assume-servers-are-available setting is working with the inbuild favorite folder listing (the default starred toolbar button) only?

Cheers, FH

Thanks! No, not finished yet, this will take much longer than I thought. Actually I will do it in phases, so I can do what I like much more (yep, you got it) in between.


Cannot reproduce your issue though. Added this to my favorite folders:
"My Share" \\server\share\

but the favorite folders popup menu is as fast as always. No wonder since "\\server\share\" gets a generic icon that takes no time to retrieve.

It's the other way round. Indeed, the Favorite Folders popup is (and stays) lightning fast.

But if I put the very same line into a smartdropdown.txt (to mimick my context script's logic) then the popup needs much longer to come up when I click the ctb the sdd.txt is assigned to.

OH yes, I can confirm that! Let's see what I can do...

Fixed in next version.

Works, what a relief.

Thanks, Don
