Turn off folder autoscan
« on: April 14, 2017, 19:01:28 »
I have a folder that gets frequent file changes and the folder keeps refreshing every time there is a change.  Normally it's not a big deal but there are a lot of files in this folder and the scan takes a while.   I checked the configuration options but could not find a way to turn this feature off. 

Thanks for you help!

Try typing ":AutoRefresh 1" (on) or ":AutoRefresh 0" (off) in the commandline field.

and then restart MC.. This is a experimental things.. might not work for everything.. But It should prevent auto refresh when folder is changed.
So you might need to do F2/F5 (depending on setup) you self to make it refresh.
This affect ALL folders. everywhere.
