FreeCommander Forum

Hi, Think I may have found an issue in the latest version 818 64 bit donor.

Note: I generally only use the portable versions of FC, I always use the latest versions and only use on my home computers, so not installed on a stick.

when updating to the most current version, I close the running Fc down, copy/paste the newer files over the older files and usually all is well.

This time I went from 816 to 818 and noticed that the free-commander now flashes every 1000ms just as it would if you was initiating the refresh button, this becomes annoying after a time. Tried closing every other program i had running just encase this was causing the issue, this didn't work. so as a last resort and to prove a point I copied the older files back again from version 816 64 bit Donor and sure enough this corrected the issue.

I don't no if this issue is present in the installer version of fc 818, as only use the portable version.

Kind Regards - Stay Safe
Still loving fc

Thanks, followed your link and carried out instructions

- close FreeCommander
- open the FreeCommander.ini file
- find the line with "TreeDynamicRefresh"
- change the value to 0: TreeDynamicRefresh=0
- save the ini file

Now I'm back to good working fc, no refreshing constantly

Kind Regards and stay safe

Thank you, works for me as well.
That refresh is really annoying.

Thank you and Stay safe

Hello,
I have same issue on 810a 32b. Left panel dir (ALT+T) is constantly refreshed and selected dir blinks. I have this issue since many versions. But this TreeDynamicRefresh parameter doesn't exist in ini file under user\AppData\Local\FreeCommanderXE\Settings\. Do you know if it's exactly same issue and how to solve it ?
Can this be due to tortoise SVN or other software ? I try to disable refresh in preferences/display/ + ignore network drives but nothing works.
Best regards,

Hi
I also had the same problem of selected Folder flashing constantly. The solution to edit ini file worked fine and solved problem. Many thanks
