Having network locations in "recent location" result in hang time when clicking on "recent location"

[terrytw]

Similar to viewtopic.php?t=27571
Obviously XYplorer is checking whether the location is there. However I would suggest having a lazy load option.

smb shared folders ... do you have an example of such a path? How can I tell that it is a network path?

Something like this, you share it via windows GUI, or from the NAS.

Cannot explain. Such problems are not reproducible. This menu (and many others) has not been slowed down by an unavailable network location for many years.

@terrytw: Does this delay happen always, or perhaps just the first time "recent locations" is being accessed in an XYplorer session (presuming no previous network access took place)? When you once know the answer to this question, then perhaps try to investigate (if not already) the possible effects of changing the two options under Settings / Safety Belts/Network / Network. (There are also a few sentences about them in Help.)

I have tried both of these options, but they don't change the problem.

The problem does not only occur the first time "recent locations" is being accessed in an XYplorer session. they happen almost every time unless I click "recent locations" twice within 10 seconds, then the second time it will be quicker. If I wait for like a minute, then it will be slow again.

This indeed totally sounds like network.

1) Try this tweak:

Code: Select all

PopupMenusGenericIcons=1

2) Can you pinpoint the very recent location item that is causing the slowdown?

1) PopupMenusGenericIcons option makes the recent location lightning fast, but the custom recent location provided by jupe in viewtopic.php?t=27567 is still very slow.

2) I cannot pin point to a single item that is causing the problem, it seems to be cumulative, i.e. the more network locations you have in recent location, the slower it gets.

1) In the next beta the script will obey PopupMenusGenericIcons.

2) Give a complete and exact example path, otherwise I can't understand what's happening.

3) Do you have Custom File Icons enabled? If yes, disable it to see if it makes a difference.

A few observations (under 26.10.0200):
1) When using PopupMenusGenericIcons=0, with custom file icon enabled, both original recent locations and the recent locations script are slow; when using PopupMenusGenericIcons=1, with custom file icon enabled, original recent locations is fast, recent locations script is slow.

2) example mru browse list:

3) When using PopupMenusGenericIcons=0, with custom file icon disabled, both original recent locations and the recent locations script are slow.

4) The slowness is only present when there is at least some moderate disk IO happening on network location, so it seems to me that recent location function is definitely trying to read from the network location for information but since there are disk IO going on, the response is slow.

5) Using GenericIconsForNetworkLocations=1 seems to work.

Thanks, I could see some slowness now and I could do something about it. Check out the next beta.

PS: In that jupe script you should now add the new "generic icons" flag (8):

Code: Select all

$f = popupmenu(regexreplace(<get list_recentlocations>, "^(.+?)$", "$1|$1|$1"),,, 2, 32, 8, <crlf>, "|"); if ($f) { tab("new", $f); }

I just tried the 26.10.0201, with network location busy on disk IO, with PopupMenusGenericIcons=0, custom file icon enabled, GenericIconsForNetworkLocations=0.

The original recent location is still quite slow.

The recent location script, with the added "generic icons" flag, is instantaneous.

Strange, it's fast now here (and all your network locations don't exist over here). Currently have no better ideas.

I think using generic icon is good enough of a solution for now. Maybe one day you look at something else and fix this one accidentally haha.
