Hi, I'm new there so I first wanna congratulate the author 'cause 2xplorer and xplorer2 are really good stuff (guess it's obvious for everybody here, but I had to say it )
now my problem, which seems to have already been discussed in this forum, but not solved (or I've missed the solution) : when "Show Tree" is activated, xplorer2 tries to acces the floppy at startup, even if both panes are showing directories on hard drives and not on the floppy disk. As a result, xplorer2 doesn't load as fast as it should. That's not a real matter but I find it really annoying.
This problem doesn't happen with 2xExplorer. It appears only with xplorer2 (0.55 and previous versions, but I dunno how many).
Here is two lines of the dbmon log that are very likely related to that :
2608: MINI-ASSERT: GetPidlType fails for: A:\
2608: MINI-ASSERT: GetPidlType fails for: K:\
A: is my floppy (yes it is! )
K: is my dvd drive
Both are empty. If I put a floppy in the A: drive, the first line disappears from dbmon. And if I put a dvd in the K: drive, the second line disappears.
Curiously enough, I've a cd-r drive whose letter is L: and even if it's empty, I've no line about it in dbmon.
I prefer not to post there the entire dbmon log, but if it's useful, just ask.
thanks in advance for your help
xplorer2 always want to access floppy at startup

Ok, I think I've found it. Is this the good one? http://www.ps.ic.ac.uk/~umeca74/kenny.zip
But this version still try to access the floppy disk
I've run dbmon and have had the same two lines in the log.
By the way, is that normal that the release version sends informations to dbmon? Maybe I've not found the good link.

No, it isn't. But it should have been though!TtTof wrote:Ok, I think I've found it. Is this the good one?
@Nikos Do you refresh the contents of the zip file under that link? Because the file inside is dated 23-01-2004 12:17 and based on its size I suspect its just a debug build!!
No, it is not normal for a release build. But you've already guessed: the one you got is also a debug version of X2.TtTof wrote:But this version still try to access the floppy disk

I hope Nikos can provide you with an old link, because I too was unable to find one with a release build in it.
Dumb questions are the ones that are never asked
The link above was indeed a debug version, so it would have been of no use for you. Like me, you need a release version, but I've no link to give to you. Apparently, the real release version is in progress, so...kilg0r3 wrote:Sorry but the link above, does not seem to work anylonger, and, with the current version 0.0.0.57, I still have got that 'problem'.
But actually, I'm happy with the 0.0.0.57 debug version 'cause I'm not using the tree anymore (sorry Nikos ). With the "Select Drive" Button and the title buttons on each pane (great feature ! ), the tree is now useless to me. Give it a try and see by yourself...
Yes, it's a breeze to navigate using those tools!. No need for tree anymore (always found it awkward to navigate using the tree)TtTof wrote:With the "Select Drive" Button and the title buttons on each pane (great feature ! ), the tree is now useless to me. Give it a try and see by yourself...
In fact, this, the dual pane layout and the comprehensive dsearch facilities are the main reasons I use X2!!
