FreeCommander XE 600 freezes at start
FreeCommander XE 600 freezes at start
In XE 600 (and since 597 I think), FreeCommander freezes when started for about 1 minute.
I'm using Windows 7 SP1.
Here's a pic:

1. close XE
2. rename "SETTINGS" folder
3. restart XE, if issue persists go to menu / tools /settings /network / check "load network in background process ..."

I can see from screenshot - you have folder tree and favorite tree.In XE 600 (and since 597 I think), FreeCommander freezes when started for about 1 minute.
Could you check if without the trees is the start normal?
Re: FreeCommander XE 600 freezes at start
Ok, problem found:
I have two network folders in my favorite tree. They're only available in my home network. That causes the problem. Unfortunately the "load network in brackground process" option doesn't help.
The favorite folders ware a great option for me to get rid of the network drives, but I understand that they can cause trouble. Is it possible to not check them at start up? I don't think this is necessary. (And when I click on a folder which is not connected and fC freezes, then it's my fault..)

nope it never shall freeze, a simple message box would be enough.(And when I click on a folder which is not connected and fC freezes, then it's my fault..)

That's of course the best solution.. I'm just used to the freezing, because the Explorer does that too if the network is not available..iamwudu wrote:nope it never shall freeze, a simple message box would be enough.

Could you please add the following lineI have two network folders in my favorite tree. They're only available in my home network. That causes the problem.
FavoritesTreeExtractedIcons=0
to the [Form] section of the freecommander.ini and test it again?
Re: FreeCommander XE 600 freezes at start
The problem only occurs if a favorite folder has an address that is not available in the current network, e.g. "\\192.168.235.64\test" (given that your subnet isn't 192.168.235 of course...)Marek wrote: Could you please add the following line

When I'm not connected to any network, fC starts without problems. In the favorite tree, the network folders have white icons and when I click on them fC immediately shows an error message that it can't find the path.
"FavoritesTreeExtractedIcons=0" does the trick! No freezing at the startup anymore, and the icons are not white but standard folder icons, great! Clicking on the folder causes the freezing followed by an error message that the network path could not be found, then it freezes for another 10 seconds. After that you can continue normally...
I can absolutely live with that!
Thanks.

Could you please check the release 601 with "FavoritesTreeExtractedIcons=1"?"FavoritesTreeExtractedIcons=0" does the trick! No freezing at the startup anymore,
Re: FreeCommander XE 600 freezes at start
Works! Same behavior as the 600 release with "FavoritesTreeExtractedIcons=0". Great!Marek wrote:Could you please check the release 601 with "FavoritesTreeExtractedIcons=1"?
