Again - without a detailed bug description noone will be able to reproduce this.

[makinero]

You can not change an option because another process is busy.
Known issue, the same bug also occurs in Everything.

Caused by: Co najmniej jeden wątek procesu TOTALCMD64.EXE jest w stanie oczekiwania.
At least one thread of the process TOTALCMD64.EXE is waiting.

Read my text below carefully. This is how a report should look like. I'm not quite sure if the behavior is unexpected in all aspects but it's worth to take a closer look.

Tested on Win7 Pro 64, TC 9.0a x64, HDD

1. Create a large folder with >2^16 files.
2. Make sure all the refresh stuff is turned off. No refresh on activate or exit for the drive in question and no refresh on file system change.

   Code: Select all

   noreread=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/\:
   noreread2=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/\:
   WatchDirs=50
   

3. Open the created folder on both sides.
4. On the left create a file 'bla.txt' and go on folder up.
5. Open settings dialog and toggle 'show function key' switch.
6. Click OK
7. Now TC is busy in the foreground for some time. This time is definitely related to the size of the folder. But we don't know what happended.
8. The right pane now displays the newly created file --> the folder has been reread.

1. It must be clarified why a folder refresh is necessary in this case.
2. The behavior observed by makinero opens the question why the foreground thread is blocked in this case. With ThreadFindFirst=1 we expect the actual refresh to be performed in a background thread. The refresh of the user interface is expected to be instantly even for very large folders.

Too many TOTALCMD.exe threads (many PID processes)
Reads all the folders on the main partition.

T:\Folder1
T:\Folder2
T:\Folder3
....
T:\Folder 10000

10000 PID Process!

We have had that before Is the 2nd column the PID? If yes there is only one instance (same PID). Proceses and threads are not the same thing. PID means _process_ ID and says nothing about threads. And what would be too many threads?

[makinero]

I open one folder (one path) instead of thousands of folders or 100000 path?
So why read all the paths???
Scans the Entire partition. WTF?

[hlloyge]

I don't understand - are you saying that, whenever you open totalcmd, it scans all the partitions and folders?
I am not aware of an option which does that. Eventually Options/Display/Always load complete directory tree.

Scans the Entire partition.

That's just nonsense.

Well... I have usb hdd connected to a PC and sometimes if I do something in TC (like navigation, or search) with folders that has nothing todo with external drive hdd, led of external hdd starts blinking. Sometimes it happens when I just click on some menus, and not only in TC but also in other apps. And sometimes doing same things I don't see any reaction of external hdd led (it either has or hasn't the light, but no blinking).

[Lefteous]

Some access to an external HDD is not even close to scanning a whole partition.

[makinero]

You can see that he reads everything (T partition!)
Reading all decreases disk performance and TC

Looks like reading the root folder to me.
