Huge tag file delays 64-bit XYplorer (but not 32-bit XYplorer).
Posted: 27 Feb 2026 21:22
Latest XYplorer versions tested (27.20.1000 32-bit, 28.20.0300 64-bit) on Windows 11, 100% screen scaling.
I had been using 32-bit XYplorer for quite some time using a quite big (100,000 files) tagfile. In xyplorer.ini:
...
TagDatCustom=O:\SomeFolder\SomeFileTag.dat
...
All tagged files are in SSD (as is the tagfile).
When I upgraded to 64-bit XYplorer, I noticed a considerable delay in opening XYplorer. (32-bit took one second, 64-bit takes 15!).
When I removed the tagfile from the ini, 64-bit xyplorer loaded very fast, so the tagfile is probably the culprit.
But why in 32-bit it doesn't cause any delay in opening XYplorer, whereas in 64-bit xyplorer it causes soooo much delay?
