I connect to a VPN to access files from my office network. Once I disconnect from VPN and close lister, the next time I open the lister, the last viewed directory always displays, which in this case is my network folder. When I attempt to browse to local folder it first attempts to reconnect to network folder, causing Directory Opus to crash.
Firstly, how do I set a default folder that always opens with each new lister? Secondly, there does not appear to be a reason why directory opus would attempt to connect to network folder when I am trying to open a local one. The crash that ALWAYS occurs seems to be a bug.
That would answer half the question. Thank you. The other half is the crash caused when attempting to navigate to away from network folder in a lister after vpn connection to that folder is disconnected. Even though it is not setup to attempt to reconnect to network folder, it nonetheless freezes Directory Opus when I attempt to choose a local folder.
If a freeze, did it seem to last forever, or do things start working again after 30-60 seconds?
Windows itself can take that amount of time to decide a network path is no longer accessible (especially if it is the first time anything tries to access it), and that can make APIs which usually return very quickly change to block for a relatively long time, but they should come back after 30-60 seconds.
On the other hand, if it stays frozen for longer than that, or if the program is actually crashing (i.e. exiting completely and/or showing a crash dialog) then that is a different matter. How to solve/reduce the problem will depend on those details.
