Possible beta bug copying large volumes

Brad · Post by **Brad** » 2004 May 14, 04:36

I have found the following issue while copying large amounts of data. When copying from one 2xexplorer pane to the other, to the folder tree, or to windows explorer I cannot select files in the source pane with the mouse. The keyboard continues to operate normally in both panes, and the mouse works fine in the non-source pane. The mouse can be used to select between the pane's, but will not select a file or change the current selection. All mouse clicks seemed to be queued until the copy is complete.

Is this just me, or can someone else verify this behaviour?

BTW, I'm using Win2k/SP3.

I have seen this behaviour too, albeit intermitantly, on XP sp1...

Brad, if you double-click in the current pane (during such a copy), does x² launch the (still) selected item, regardless of whether you double-clicked on another file?

if you copy with drag-drop, then i think windows are locking the source window (?) till the operation is over

i mostly copy with F5 and none of this happens

Odd then that this only seems to happen for large copies... nor does it happen in M$ explorer...

explorer may be copying in a background thread
x2 is still a poor relative in this respect only you can hardly tell most of the time!
