directory size limit?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Anders Petersson's Freeware Forum : One Thread

I have a network drive that has a lot of files in one directory (3688 files). When I try to open the catalog of this drive OCDB goes white and unresponsive. It appears to be locked up and in task manager it is listed as (not responding). I am running a test right now (i.e. going to lunch) to see if it is really working just not providing me information. But I wanted to know if there was a limit.

FYI, I think it is a great program and hope this is an easy fix.

Hi Theron.

Glad you like it. The probelm is that OCDB isn't very fast on listing files. I don't think OCDB is hung, rather a couple of thousands files can take several minutes to list. I've worked intesivly on making OCDB quicker to the next version. And hopefully that will be the case. Thanks for the feedback.
