Takes over 20 seconds to drag-n-drop file?

#1 Post by Clutch Cargo » 19.03.2023, 18:50

I have been comparing my older FreeCommander 2009 with the new XE version. I was ready to move over but it takes up to 20 seconds (I have timed it), to perform a simple drag-n-drop of a file from one location to another. Why is that?

This is using the XE default settings, customizing settings. After around 20 seconds I see a big paper icon when I can then copy or move the file. Yet, if I go back to FC 2009 it is always instant.

Can someone help me... thx

What about with the copy between panels with F5?
Play with Drag&Drop settings (option Use blocking transfer) https://freecommander.com/fchelpxe/en/O ... Queue.html
If you have extra AntiVirus program - try to test without.

Thanks for the reply. I believe I have found what was causing this... perhaps more of a selection choice than an issue. In settings I unchecked "Start dragging on name or icon only" and Use blocking transfer". Not sure what exactly those choices due but I now get instant moving and copying files! I can finally start using FC XE. Looking forward to reading the manual and exploring the goodies.
