New beta 4.50

[jacky]

Hey Don!

So, hope you had a good time, seems it's been very productive anyhow. That's quite a lot of new (great) stuff you got us there

I'll just start mentionning a couple I already really like, like the batch rename Very good one! Or the selections being remembered per tab! All great new additions, Thanks a lot!

I have a couple of problems also, though. First can not seem such a big deal, but it is for me!

Reorganized the Favorites menu: it tended to get too high so I put the Favorite Folders down one level

Yeah, well that's bad! I mean I really REALLY miss both the special folders & fav. files submenus on the context menu (blank area on treeview) ! I really used all thoose to navigate, and it is really a big lost for me.
Hope you'll agree and put them back in, it was only 2 menutiems (as they're submenus) anyways, not such a big deal regarding space.

The other one, which I pretty much notice as soon as I installed 4.50, even though it actually seem to be there also in 4.40, and yet I had never noticed it
Anyways, when I have the Show Tooltips enabled, if I move the mouse cursor around a bunch of files with data to "extract" from (AVI, MP3, etc) the CPU usage just jumps way up!!
It also makes the ctxt menu quite slow to respond to the right-click, with a hupe CPU usage again.

ATM I have both 4.40 & 4.50 installed, and it seems they both work the same regarding this issue, so it's not a new bug, and I'm not sure why I didn't noticed that earlier.

Congrats again on all your new additions

Yeah, I like the new BETA +++ additions a lot, too! Especially Batch Rename I should have added 5 years ago, damn! And Views as well...

Sorry, man. But patience! I'm thinking about a new favs interface anyway. Why don't you use the Favorites main menu, it's one click less: mouse down, select command, mouse up.

Not here! Ok, there is notable CPU activity, but not a lot and only on first time (it's file access on hard disk and OS writing file to cache). Enable "Show tip only when hovering file icon" to lessen your trouble.

Yeah but it's not all about how many clicks I gotta do. Right now when I wanna go to a fav files, (I just move the mouse over to the treeview and) right-click, and it's there
With the menu I gotta go all the way up to go get it, might be one click less but it's just slower.
/me now waits for this new mystery favs interface

Yeah I did, no more CPU worries now. But when you speak of cache, do you cache thoose infos too? Cause the way it works for me I dont think theres any cache.... (tried turning the thumb cache on just to see, didnt change anything)

No, I don't cache nothing. But Windows by default caches file access and a lot of other stuff, which I conclude from the fact that first time browsing is so much slower than non-first. I also can *hear* that there's no more hard disk access (bzz, bzzz, bzbz bz) on non-first browsing.
