![]() ![]() (Holding down the up/down key as was suggested in the original thread, fails - it doesn't move the item for ~0.5 - 1 second, then it moves it too quickly to fine tune up or down the 2 or 3 lines needed.) Same applies in going between other drives (past my DVD) or between local drives and a networked computer or 2 networked computers (if another networked computer is in between and not accessible). My concern is that this is needlessly hammering my SSD and shortening its life.When I move up and down the tree with the keyboard, drives that aren't connected (network computers I'm not logged into, floppy drives etc) immediately freeze XY while they try and access, rather than waiting for a few hundred milliseconds first (as on Windows Explorer) in case I quickly skip past them to another tree row.Įvery time I go from C: to \User it has to go past A:\ and tries to access it. The files themselves are relatively small but they appear to be being written to near continuously, with number of megabytes continuously and quickly rising. The filenames have the following name types:Ĭ:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Caches\.2.ver0x00000000002ce8d8.db But only with Xyplorer, not Windows Explorer or the other file manager I mentioned in my earlier post.ī) I just tried switching auto-refresh off - no change, unfortunately.Īccording to Sysinternals Process Explorer, the XYplorer.exe process is writing, near continuously, to files in my "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Caches" folder. I just temporarily deleted my Xyplorer.ini, which appeared to simulate a fresh install scenario. However, I also today updated my laptop with v from v and I did NOT get the disc activity either before or after the update and the fact that there have been no "me toos" in response to my posting suggests there's some issue on my specific computer. If you filter the 'Process' column for 'contains "cache"' you can home in on the activity. The file is too large for the forum but I posted it to. I also captured file activity using Sysinternals Process Explorer tool. Look at the disc writes - 814Mb! Mainly on the 'cache' folder files shown in the Resource Monitor screenshot in my original post. I'm happy to provide any further information, screen movies etc. I cannot live without my Xyplorer, which has become highly personalised to me over the years with my favourite folders etc. FreeCommander XE opens the same folders near instantly, so unfortunately I have to conclude this is a performance issue on Xyplorer. FreeCommander XE has many of the same basic features of Xyplorer and therefore should have comparable performance on similar tasks. To an extent, this may help distinguish between an issue on my computer and an issue with Xyplorer. I also downloaded a free file manager, FreeCommander XE, to compare the performances. Neither approach seems to have resolved the issue. ![]() Made XYplorer.exe and XYCopy.exe process exceptions in Windows Defender.Deleted settings file and then closed Xyplorer, saving settings.To the best of my knowledge I do not have a virus and all my other software appears to be running normally. (I have not changed any of my 'Icons' settings.) Presumably its data is cached in memory so the issue appears to be slow folder content scanning. Once the folder is shown I can click on a different folder and when I return it shows near-instantly. For example, I've just opened a folder for the first time this session, which only contains 5 files and one sub-folder and it took over 10 seconds to get control (i.e. Even after the folder contents appear visible in the list view, it is still frozen for several seconds. Recently (last couple of updates, I think) I've noticed that it has become frustratingly slow at times - especially, for example, when opening a new tab /folder (either by clicking in the tree or double-clicking a folder in the list view). I've been using XYplorer for many years, on the same computer (Win / 64 bit / 16gb RAM / i7-2600 3.4Ghz / SSD Windows and apps, +2 plattered data drives). ![]()
