Unmounted network drives very slow to timeout

Open fotico opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug If the folder history contains links to a network drive that is currently not mounted, starting up DupeGuru will take a long time

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Mount a network share as a drive (could also be a plain network share, i.e. \server\dir)
  2. Add a directory and scan it
  3. Close DupeGuru
  4. Shut down remote server connection (e.g. no internet, or connection timing out)
  5. Start DupeGuru
  6. It will take several minutes per directory in the history to try to connect to the share

Expected behavior DupeGuru should not try to connect to the folders in history list at startup, only when it is instructed to do so.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 8.1
