Disable features for folders with more than 100,000 file

Post by *Ozz.project »

I very often work with folders that contain more than 100,000 files. In this case working with TC is hardly possible, because it executes many actions in the background and is therefore slow.

Especially when he loses focus or changes the window. Then he starts over again.
In the options I can only turn off the behavior for single drives or network drives.

A new feature that turns off this behavior for a total number of files in a folder would be helpful.

You can turn off atomatic re-reading of directories when Total Commander gets the focus:
Configuration - Options - Refresh - No refresh for these drives:
Here you can enter the drive letters for the drives where these large folders are on.
For UNC paths like \\server\share, just enter a backslash.

Ozz.project already knew that:

He is asking for an option to disable it per folder as well.

I have similar issue when working in branchview and using filter (cd *.packz ).

Even if i have the drive in no refresh option (\ X Y Z) from time to time I have a reading directories modal popup !

During this notification, as the popup is modal i cannot work. ( Im selecting some packed files, unpack delete and repack to new files with external tools) i need to go to same folder and add some status file manually.
It could be nice to have an option to completely disable all refresh on current tab with a toggle command like ^B.
