Address bar hangs

Post by rhywun1 »

XYplorer hangs when I type anything in the address bar, or click its drop down, or attempt to use Address Bar & Go to... under Tools|List Management.

I suspect it's full of network locations that don't exist anymore (I can see them when I look inside XYplorer.ini). How can I clear these out so the address bar can work again? Thanks

Is it really "anything"? It would be nice to find out what exactly makes it hang before you clean the list.

Click on the main menu "Tools" and then "List Management" and look for "Address Bar and Go to..." at the top and see what you have in there. Clear out old or unneeded items.

Space bar works, and drops down a list of drives and some favorite folders. Any other character I type causes a hang.

It hangs when I select that menu item.

OK, I let it operate for about 12 minutes and finally the list came up.
There were a couple of hundred entries pointing at network locations I cannot access from this machine.
Cleared the list and all is good now. Thanks!

I tried to replicate that but could not. Added non-existing UNC paths to my Address Bar MRU and had no hang. And this was confirmed in the source code: The Address Bar dropdown skips all Network paths when it comes to the hard work, which always is the retrieval of the icons. So, I cannot understand what's going on in your system. :?

I don't think I can help troubleshoot any further but thanks for helping me fix it.
