Slow startup when network drives not accessible

Recommended Posts

dandv    0

I have drive Z: mapped to a network path on my laptop. Today

when I started NDN, I had to wait about 15 seconds before NDN

showed the file manager panel. I had no other windows etc. but

the laptop was not connected to the network. I repeated the

experiment 4 times, with the same results.

 

Then, I connected the laptop, accesses drive Z using Explorer,

and started NDN again. This time NDN started instantly.

 

I think this problem might be related to NDN attempting to

retrieve the current directory from all drives at startup,

including removable drives. In DNOSP, there is a setting to

disable that: Configuration -> Interface -> Drive selection

menu information type -> Show current directory for network drives.

 

Can NDN be made to NOT query network/removable drives at all

at startup? (I haven't found such an option in NDN)

 

Thanks,

Dan

hi!

 

with 5661 i introduced new drive handling code, to support linux drives/partitions/mounts the same way we do in dos

 

the only thing that changed is that i now gather all information on drives at startup, and not only when AltF1/F2 is pressed

 

the same delay can be witnessed when you have a CDROM inserted in your CD DRIVE (at least here i can see the delay)

 

i probably have to change something in the RTL of the windows code of VP
