Improved Handling of USB Device Waking Up

Help & Support
1

Hi,

Please consider improving the experience of using Directory Opus to navigate to a USB external drive that needs to wake up (maybe in power save mode?).

For me one of my USB 3.0 drives has a short duration before going into power save mode "sleeping" and a long duration of waking up.

Currently as of version 12.19 stable x64 for me if I try to navigate to the drive in the lister the Directory Opus window becomes non-responsive (looks like it's crashing, whitens, and then recovers about 5 seconds later)

It would be wonderful if Directory Opus could handle this scenario more gracefully.

What would you want it to do

I'd like the lister to continue in the loading state, and the dopus.exe process to not go "not responding" (that's a bad thing).
