@gawkla I'm glad I'm not the perfectionist here, lol.
I hope it can be appreciate that from a user's perspective it is very irritating for their program to freeze because of something on the other end. It is a basic concept of a DoS. Good software is robust!
I think it would be great if it did that, showing "Reading folder..." while something else is called to fetch the data, instead of the former freezing itself.
I've tried to compile a bit of info below to try to narrow it down.
I do not have any "aftermarket" toolbar items, as I'm still pretty new to Dopus, mostly everything is default. I do have favorites that include unavailable drive. I have previously removed mapped folders and mapped drives. I have also included a screenshot of the interface, so you can check, because I don't know what might be tripping it.
Regarding identifying what's causing it, the simplest first: open tab to the server, disconnect server from the network, try opening inaccessible content -> Dopus freezes for 30seconds before either going to "Reading folder..." with an abort button or simply ignoring the action.
Situation 2: Dopus is open, network storage tab is open in the left pane and in focus. I close Dopus. I disconnect the server. I open Dopus, left pane is initially empty (even if an available folder is open there), right pane shows items, Dopus now freezes for ~45 seconds (not responding), then finishes opening with the network tab "unloaded" - why is it freezing if it isn't even loaded? This happens every time it is reopened in this state, not just the first.
Okay, I waited that first freeze, now the tab is definitely "loaded as unloaded", I open a new tab in the left pane, over the unavailable tab, and do whatever. It will now freeze randomly for 30 seconds. As long as that "unloaded" tab is open (not selected) and I'm using Dopus, Dopus will randomly freeze every 30 seconds or so for 30 seconds. I right click the unavailable tab and close it, Dopus no longer freezes now.
While it is frozen, if I open a new Dopus window, it is also frozen as long as the first one is.
I will gladly provide further info if needed.
