I'm working with XY 7.00.0077, but in general with version 7, I'm seeing that doing a full refresh takes about 5 seconds to complete. I'm used to a refresh being next to instantaneous, so is this being caused by one of the configuration settings of XY? Or is this a legitimate performance issue?

Full Refresh? Which one do you mean? F5, F4, or both? And how about your startup time? A refresh should never take longer than startup...

I normally use the "Refresh Tree and List", however, the behavior is the same if I just use the "Refresh Tree" command (F4).

Startup time is almost instantaneous, but the refresh takes about 5 seconds. During that time, XY is effectively frozen - the cursor is the arrow plus hourglass, and I am unable to change directories or do anything else until the refresh completes.

The machine is on a network, however, I tried disconnecting all mapped network drives, and experienced no change in behavior.

Okay, I assume it's the new "Refresh Drives" functionality which I recently incorporated into Refresh Tree. Could you please compare the last official release (7.00.0000 -- http://www.xyplorer.com/download.htm) -- is it faster?

Nope, 7.00.0000 behaves in exactly the same way.

Weird. But you remember that it was faster before?

I thought I remembered that it was faster when I first evaluated XY (which would have been 6.x). It's possible that I'm misremembering, but in any case, you're correct that it shouldn't be any slower than XY's startup time.

May I send you a test version per email?

Case closed. Issue could be solved: a non-existing floppy drive was "refreshed". Learn: If you do not have a floppy-drive then you better hide it from XY. (Your BIOS should do that for you normally, but you know computers...)
