it always takes so long

Hi Mathias,

When i close my laptop (so it goes to sleep) and go to my desktop where a share was open to the laptop, it always takes a minute or more before MC becomes responsible again.
Is there anything you can do?

When you activate MC it will refresh the filelist. And after sleep network connection has gone done..
So If MC is showing a network shares, Then it will take a while before Windows timeout and lets MC know that it is not available anymore. And if it is available it can takes some time because Windows need to login and initialize a new connection to the server (but that of often quite fast)

You can turn off so MC does not auto refresh when you active the MC app.. Then you might have a chance to navigate away to some other location.
However. It will prevent some automatic refresh of the filelist view in MC.

Core Settings > FileSystem(tab) > Tweaking.
Then Uncheck "FileSystem Refresh > "Refresh tabs when application focus is returned"

Thank you, i have enabled it, i'm gonna try it out, it might be the solution i'm looking for.

it is always enabled by default. you need to disable it.

Yes sorry i meant that. I have enabled it back again, i don't like when i rename something and have to refresh the window. I wish one could set that timeout in windows. Never mind, thanks for the best filemanager.
