Slow Network
Hi,
Using the current ver of TotCom under XP on a 2003 Server at work.
Server "A" is at my location, and server B is the server 10miles away. I assigned R as the drive for the server on B. The connection speed is slow between the 2 locations and this is a known issue. When I say slow, I mean sloooowww, lucky to get 56k. Here is the situation:
When I go to the R drive, the root of R will have 70 folders and a few files. Using Windows Explorer it will display all 70 folders and files pretty quick. But when I am using Tot Com, it takes .5 sec to display each folder one at a time. That means it can take around 30sec before it completes it view of the root of the R drive.
My question is, why is Tot Com taking so long compared to Windows Explorer? And is there a setting in Tot Com that can display the folders more quickly?
Thanks,
AC

Do you use custom colors by file type? If yes, try to disable them temporarily in Configuration - Options - Colors.

If you access your network with UNC paths you can prevent your colors by filetype from being shown by adding plugin filtering to the definition of your color filter.I now request option for automatically disabling colors by filetype when on network
Plugin configuration:
Code: Select all
Plugin: tc
Property: path
OP: !contains
Value: \\
Myfilter_Plugin=tc.path !contains \\\\

I haven't tried out your suggeston yet, i don't have time right now and have many color filters to change.
But as I see it, this tip will not disable coloring filetypes, but will only not apply coloring files on the unc paths. It will check them, that makes TC slower and at the end it will not apply the filter. To gain the performance, we need not to check the files on network.
As I said, didn't tried it yet, just thought over it, so maybe i'm wrong

You might be right - I haven't tried it, so that remains to be seen. If TC applies the plugin filter first it might skip the whole drive.but will only not apply coloring files on the unc paths. It will check them,
Let us know what you experience if you try it.

Try putting the filter
Myfilter_Plugin=tc.path contains \\\\
as the first color filter, and set the color to black. This way TC will stop going through all the other filters on network paths, because the first filter is already a match.
You probably have defined filters which need access to more details than shown in normal file lists, e.g. special attributes or even file contents. These will take much longer (especially over a network) than filters which access just the file name, size, time or attribute fields, or even use external plugins.
