Drag file to other window freezes.

[Jolly]

Whenever I drag a file from everythigns search Results to a different window it freezes for a second.

I've tried toggling drag_drop_simple_pidl on and off.
If I disable windows native preview handlers it will work fine.

How I disable:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"DisableThumbnails"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"DisableThumbnails"=dword:00000001

REG ADD "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /V IconsOnly /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /F

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
start explorer.exe

When I drag and drop it triggers C:\WINDOWS\system32\DllHost.exe /Processid:{AB8902B4-09CA-4BB6-B78D-A8F59079A8D5}
(this is the Thumbnail Cache Out of Proc Server)

I've also attached a debug log where I triggered that behavior several times.

Different, as in any other window, or only another Everything window, or ?


Pretty sure you can disable "icons" within Everything.

Worth trying to see if that alone "fixes" things?


(And for a longer read, somewhat related, Everything 1.5a crash when searchig documents in samsung smartswitch backup.)

Does the freeze only occur after dragging over another window?
Is the initial drag over Everything always fast?

Please try disabling the system drag image in Everything:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  drag
• Select: system_drag_image
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.
