More Windows 7 x64 problems

Beside Homegroup and Library broken, there are few more problems DOpus 9.5 causes in Windows 7 64bit:

  1. When explorer replacement is used, after some time (usually few hours), explorer.exe process leaks memory and goes up to 1GB or so. If explorer replacement is not used, this doesn't happen.

  2. Also, when explorer replacement is used, from time to time double click on the desktop icons is not working. Left click and context menu use is fine.

My Win7 x64 machine has been up 2 days 7 hours, with explorer replacement enabled all the time, and Explorer.exe is using 24 meg. The number doesn't seem to go up if I double-click lots of folders off the desktop to cause them to open in Opus so it doesn't look like there's a leak there.

How are you opening folders that triggers the leak? How quickly does Explorer get to that sort of memory usage? What makes you think it's the Explorer Replacement option in Opus?

Re the 2nd problem, I've not run into that since switching to the Win7 RTM the day it was released. Don't think anyone else has reported such a problem. Are you sure it's Opus causing the problem (and the other one) and not some other shell extension? Tried using ShellExView to find and disable other shell extensions to see if they are triggering the problem? (Or if the problem only happens with both Opus and them, perhaps?)

I use Windows7 64bit RTM, and I have installed very few programs in it only for development, and DOpus is the only one that can cause this.

Memory leak is building over 3-4 hours up to 1GB. When I disable explorer replacement feature: no memory leak. I tested it for two days that way. Leak starts after I first run DOpus. At this moment my computer is on for about an hour, and explorer.exe is already on 100MB.

Same goes for double click on desktop. While explorer replacement is disabled, everything works fine.

Helps us reproduce this problem then. I'm using the same version of Windows (7 RTM 64-bit) and I haven't rebooted since my post yesterday and Explorer is still showing similar memory usage to what it was then.

So there must be some action and/or combination of software/settings which causes what you're seeing.

How do you tend to open your Opus windows? Double-clicking on folders on the desktop? Opening folders from other programs? Opening the default lister via the tray icon, wallpaper double-click or the desktop context menu? Global hotkeys? (If it's hotkeys, which are they? Some interact with Explorer.) etc.

If anyone else is seeing a problem like this please chime in.

Another question: Do you use Explorer itself for anything (other than the desktop itself), or do you do everything in Opus?

If you do use Explorer, what sort of things do you do in it? (e.g. view thumbnails? manage certain folders/filetypes?) Do you launch folders into Opus from Explorer a lot?
