Bug: DC stuck with loading file list...

[EldarAgalarov]

Hi. Sometimes I have annoying bug. When I'm pressing Enter to enter inside directory then I get following:

1. Path above file list is changing properly
2. File list itself not (directory remains the same). Need to press Enter several times or press Left button to get back and press Enter again.
3. "loading file list.." is printed below file list.

This behavior not depends on size of directory or number of files inside it.

That is a very old and unsupported version.

Please try latest release: https://github.com/doublecmd/doublecmd/releases/latest

Or try a prerelease: https://github.com/doublecmd/doublecmd/releases/

@JonnyTech, thanks!

i am having issues updating DC. apt update/upgrade does not update DC to latest stable?

and in the faq, the only mention of update is about the portable version, which i am not using https://doublecmd.github.io/doc/en/faq.html#pupd

please advice?

https://github.com/doublecmd/doublecmd/wiki getting very confused, as the wiki has links for sourceforge and github? some links point sourceforge and some links point to github

for example. the github wiki tells users to use a forum at sourceforge. yet here we are at github

so where is the correct place to post for tech support? thanks,

Ah, so you want to get updates via apt? Try the instructions for Ubuntu at https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3AAlexx2000&package=doublecmd-qt

thanks, i updated DC. before update, almost every attempt at navigation would cause loading file list after update, the problem still remains but not as often. DC just gets stuck for 10 seconds.

Start doublecmd from a terminal prompt, reproduce the error then copy/paste the terminal text here.

Also any error logs from $DC_CONFIG_PATH (ie on my system it is ~/.config/doublecmd/doublecmd.err).

Hi. This bug is related to the "Load file file list in separate thread" option:

Uncheck it and DC will works fine. There are something is wrong with asynchronous file list loading in DC. There are bugs in DC, Lazarus or FPC. The QT version seems to work fine.

Hi. This bug is related to the "Load file file list in separate thread" option:

@EldarAgalarov can you be more specific? Is there something odd with your system?

Please send logs too:

Start doublecmd from a terminal prompt, reproduce the error then copy/paste the terminal text here.

Also any error logs from $DC_CONFIG_PATH (ie on my system it is ~/.config/doublecmd/doublecmd.err).

If possible can you also try with latest pre-release or snapshot?

@JonnyTech I tested 1.1.11 on Fedora 39. Seems it works fine now.
