Slow file listing when "color by file types" is se

[mastabog]

Hi,

(apologies if this has already been posted)

I have been using the 7.5 beta for a while and this is definitely a buggy behaviour that was not there in previous versions. If you use the "define color by file type" in Config > Display > Color then the file listing becomes slow ... not painfully slow, but visibly slow compared to previous versions ... folders with many files (when using "Brief" listing on large monitors then it is quite irritating).

I have colors defined for audio files, video files, office documents etc and if I switch that off then file listing is quick, as it was in 7.0 and beyond.

Hope this gets fixed.

Cheers

Hi,
Exactly what filters do you use? (Paste the relevant sections from wincmd.ini, please.)
What improvements can you observe after removing each filter one by one?

TIA

I just edited my search patterns for the file types that I defined for using different colors and speed is now back! What changed for almost all searches is that I unchecked the Advanced > Attributes option .. previously it was selected for most searches (the Directory attribute was unchecked). Below are the new search options (speed ok) and old search options (slow listing):
