Very Slow Startup
Very Slow Startup
Hi,
I have downloaded the preview (FreeCommander XE 0.0.0.570 public preview) and found it very slow to start, often around 30 seconds.
My start-up panels are both local drives so it's not trying to access the network.
BTW: The original FreeCommander starts immediately.
Just thought I'd add some feedback

Re: Very Slow Startup
Same here, not 30 seconds and mostly only the first time. I think I have reported it already, not sure if it was here.
Re: Very Slow Startup
XE629
there have been lots of improvements concerning startup-time all over the previous XE releases
but XE629 really feels speedy at startup -
keep up with your good work!!

Right, I think this old topic can be closed now.

Not so fast. I am having the same problem with XE650 .. 25-sec. load time vs. 3-sec for the 'old' version on WinXP. Is it caching icons or building a directory tree or something?

Re: Very Slow Startup
If you have donor access, try any version, newer than 652. Starting from 652, EXE file is not packed and start time increased significantly.
Re: Very Slow Startup
I can confirm the most recent public version (650) still has this issue. In my opinion this issue is not resolved.

Re: Very Slow Startup
I want to like FreeCommander_XE, but the long start-up time is just not acceptable. The previous version starts up instantly, while XE takes over 30-seconds. A little investigating shows that when starting, XE Reads (and pre-indexes?) all files and folders on the Desktop, including inside every ZIP and PDF file. It also Queries, Unlocks, Opens and Reads every URL link on the Desktop. This happens even though the Desktop is not one of the chosen folders to open at startup. I don't know what is done with this info; it doesn't appear to be written out to disk.
Is there any way to make XE start up without reading these files and folders on the Desktop? I see no performance penalty in the previous version when NOT pre-reading these things.
Results are with XE_2015.1.0.685. Going back to 2009.2.0.418 until this is (hopefully) resolved...

Re: Very Slow Startup
What is your Windows version? On my Win8/64 I see no difference in the start time (2 sec.) for both versions.
Is the tree panel active on start? Exists any tab with desktop (not only active)? Is each FC start slow or maybe only the first start after Windows start?
How have you made the investigation?
