[11.57ß1] File Cursor blinks after Changing Folder

[norfie²]

File cursor blinks after changing folder to parent folder.

[norfie²]

After restarting, the blinking disappeared.

After restarting, the blinking disappeared.

Restarting TC or restarting Windows?

[norfie²]

TCmd restarting.

This happened once, or repeatedly?

[norfie²]

During the session with error it was every time after folder change. The cursor blinked at least once to three times (looked like a refresh). After restarting TCmd, it was gone.

The cursor may blink when Total Commander is busy with some background work like loading icons or thumbnails.

[norfie²]

Today: Cursor blinks one to three and more times. After restarting TCmd, it keeps blinking.

Can you try changing the icon option in Configuration - Options - Icons from
All associated+EXE/LNK
to
Only standard icons,
just for test purposes?

[norfie²]

It blinks regardless of the setting. Same for setting "Operation - Ermittle Platzbedarf von Unterverzeichnissen - Manuell" - it blinks anyway.

I removed all "Definiere Farben nach Dateityp" - blinking is disappeared.
I restored this setting - cursor blinks.

[edit] There seems to be another condition for the error to occur. Currently, TCmd is running with the same settings as in the error case, without the cursor blinking.

No blinking here with lots of colors by file type.
Do you use any plugins for color filters? If yes, which ones?

[norfie²]

dirsizecalc is used.

Code: Select all

empty dir_SearchFlags=0|000002000020||||||||22221|0000|0
empty dir_plugin=tc.path regex ^[abcdefhl]: & dirsizecalc.Empty = Yes

dir wo files_SearchFlags=0|000002000020||||||||22221|0000|
dir wo files_plugin=tc.path regex ^[abcdefhl]: & "dirsizecalc.Contains Files" = No

After deleting color definition for "empty dir", blinking is gone.

Since this seems to be a plugin error, I cannot fix it.
