DOpus lister stops responding

Symptom is like that:
Shrinked
or sometimes lister has only toolbars visible but the area where files/directories should be displayed is blank.
Tray icon is not responding too. Hang escalates i.e. after some time other listers stop responding too.

The hangs may or may not be related to the presence of USB HDD enclosure that has a bad habit of turning enclosed HDD into sleep mode quickly.
I did not experience such hangs while using DOpus 12. The enclosure was connected at this time too, albeit with different HDD enclosed.

Dumps will be sent via WeTransfer .

We've made a couple of changes for the next beta which should help here.

The problem could happen if a lister opened minimised (or changed folders while minimised), and was pointed at a folder that Windows takes a long time to query. In this case it seems to be your J:\ drive, specifically a folder below it with "pendrive" in the name.

The changes won't affect the delay, but will mean that it should no longer cause a problem if it happens on a minimised lister.
