Slow search dialog opening

Hi!
When I've been using the TC in 6.xx version, the search dialog was showing almost immediately after ALT+F7.
Now, it takes much more time...
Could the Author correct it?

Hello, eRIZ.

Now, it takes much more time...
Cannot confirm this based on what I see on the machines which I have got access to: Alt+F7 will launch the search dialogue immediately on T.C. 7.02a as well.
Windows platforms used: Win2K Sp4 Rollup1, Win2003 Std Sp1+Sp2, Windows XP Sp1+Sp2, Windows Vista Home Premium (all 32bit versions).
Could the Author correct it?
Cannot answer this question, as it seems that this is not a general problem. Maybe if you can provide more details on your system environment this will help locate the source of your problem.
Regards,
Karl

Hmm, Windows XP SP2 and Total Commander 7.02a. 2GB RAM, 1.6GHz CPU.
May it depend on installed plugins?

Maybe.
If you wish to find out quickly then you might launch T.C. like this and then launch Alt+F7:
Code: Select all
<path_to>\totalcmd.exe /n /I=.\fresh.ini
This will load a new T.C. instance using the non-existant and therefore empty INI file fresh.ini. No plugins will be loaded. So if Alt-F7 will load the search dialogue quickly now, then chances are one of the installed plugins is to be blamed.

I've checked with clean INI. And there is a difference...
With clean INI, search dialog appears quicker than with mine one.

Hi, eRIZ.
This reads as if the tedious way to solving your problem may work like this:
+ Using the fresh "fresh.ini" re-install one plugin at a time.
+ Check how fast Alt-F7 will be launched.
+ If the problem re-appears, the plugin which has been re-activated last may be to be blamed.
Or the other way round:
+ Use your normal TC INI-file.
+ De-activate one plugin at a time.
+ Check how fast Alt-F7 will be launched.
+ If the problem disappears, the plugin which has been de-activated last may be to be blamed.
