Multi Commander > Beta Releases
Re: Multi Commander 6.9.1
Ulfhednar:
(w7x64, MC v6.9.1 b2306)
Twice out of 4 cold boots this week, when loading MC it has hung on 'reading MC config' for <90 seconds. :o
It does complete loading & run but this stall is unusually long. Splash screen is usually only visible for a second or 2.
The other thing I've noticed with the recent betas was that it randomly resets column width, I need to right click & restore. I found a while ago I needed to save the setting as default for each tab & have done this many times. It again resets width after this delay in loading.
MC is run as Admin & whitelisted but obviously something has changed since Saturday.
Any ideas on this & how to make default settings stick? Maybe something is corrupt & I need to edit the configs?

For me every MC cold launch takes long time. But my hardware is ~15 years old.

Several releases (not only betas/rc) have this issue. Unfortunately I haven't found exact way to reproduce it.

Since Saturday ? the latestet release was release Dec-29, more then 3 weeks ago. (Also there is no current beta.)
If it takes long times while it start after a reboot it can be that windows has not finish loading everything yet. windows is busy, can be that lots of system dll that MC needs are not loaded yet by the system and they are then loaded and AV want to scan them all first .
It can be drives that are sleeping that needs to spin up, can be network resources that are unconnected and need to timeout.
And it can be all or combination of it.
Not sure what you do to mess up column. You don't need to save column for each tab.. tabs do not have there own column settings. they are global.
Maybe that is why it is messing up.. you have different settings have save them both and it is only the last save that will take effect?

Thanks for the replies guys.
I have been intermittently seeing column width changes since October/November last year. I'm glad you have seen this column width issue Jungle - means it's not just me & my system! :)
I didn't think I should need to do tabs individually but this has been happening everytime I installed a new beta/new version & after MC has 'hung' whilst loading, so I have done it.
As to lag on MC opening causes -
I was thinking of a windows update or AV update not MC itself.
On both occasions this hang has happened MC wasn't the first thing I opened. I had been using the browser for a bit, the PM is set to hi-perf so no drives should be asleep, no USB drives plugged in & empty opticals.
I wondered about corruption of the SSD but the drive software says says 100% green status & loads of life left...
- Makes me think about a conflict caused by something blocking MC.
Have just rebooted & MC reloaded in less than 2 seconds - normal.... So the mystery continues!

I'm not able to recreate that, I suspect it is a combination of settings and when closing MC (Some settings are change, winpos and such) and then When reopening it, it cause some conflict.
I know there might be some issue if you switch between high DPI screen normal. like if you close MC on a High DPI screen and then dock the laptop and use a external screen with normal DPI. But it is not really like this.
For the hang.. Are you sure a network path saved that it want to show at startup ? first access to a network share after a reboot can take a little longer.
What is the progress text in the splash screen when it halts during startup. It will list what extension is loading.
MC don't really do much what should take time during startup. It loads a whole much of config files that are .xml and som AV really want to deep scan them.
The only thing that really can take time is query the drive information, because if a drive is sleeping it might need to wake up unless windows already have cached the info.
Or if it needs to open a tab what are showing a network path and the network is gone, or very slow
