Long Delay to Access Folders

Filevista takes a long time to load when I configure multiple root folders. I noticed that this happens when I configure access to a root folder that has around 5000 files. Is there anything that can be done to speed this up besides making the folders smaller ?

I have sent you a modified DLL which should improve loading speed for you.

Thanks, I will test this new DLL and in case post against this topic

I have the same problem and I would really like to understand why a DLL could solve that problem. Are you changing the load order or priority of FileVista?

Thanks in advance and I've been using your product for almost 3 years now and it's the best web-based file manager program that I know!

I am glad you are happy with our product.

FileVista needs to count files when building the folder tree so that it can know a folder is expandable (should have plus sign) or not. Due to another customer's feedback prior to Mark, we recently found that this feature may cause long delays with huge folders which contain thousands of files. Note that, folders of this size are not very common and I think most customers don't experience any delays with FileVista. However we will include an option for turning this feature on or off in future versions.
So, the modified DLL is a just temporary fix which disables this feature by default.

FYI, v3.6 includes the following changes regarding this problem:

- Improved: Speed of file listing in the folder view and subfolder populating in the folder tree.
- Added: New setting "DisableFolderExpandableCheck" in filevista.config which can be set to "1" if you are experiencing slow load times with huge folders.
When building the folder tree, FileVista calculates if a folder is expandable or not (ie. if it should have a plus sign or not).
By changing this setting to "1", you can disable this calculation and improve loading speed of huge folders.
