Summary: With Insync Pro stated the behaviour of Windows Explorer is negatively affected. Making the whole computer difficult and awkward to use
Details
After a 5 month plus absence I am again trying to use Insync to sync between my local computer and Google Drive host.
In this re-testing phase am manually starting Insync like this every time i.e. it is not autostarted
cd C:\Users\mbennett\AppData\Roaming\Insync\App
.\insync --max-conns 10 --skip-local-scan
Software Levels
Insync 1.3.6.36076
Windows Explorer 6.3.9600 18231
The Behaviours
-
When a window with even a few files is opened in Explorer and icon view is selected a LONG period of seconds occurs before the filenames are translated into the Extra Large Icons View
-
At the top of the Explorer window is the Quick Access toolbar, then below that the Menu Bar and below that the Ribbon. When the ViewMenu button is selected then the different file viewing options e.g Extra Large Icons, Small Icons Tiles etc in the Ribbon can be grayed out for several seconds e.g. > 10 before eventually becoming selectable
-
The total Item count at the bottom of the screen is often wrong. Seems to lag multiple seconds behind a directory load. So when switching between different directories, the number is basic garbage and misleading.
When I start Insync in the above manner the problem starts
When I kill the Insync process, no reboot is required, the behaviour disappears.
