Windows 10: Windows Directory folder sorting / generation

Dear Community,


My problem is very specific. When searching and displaying 3000 folders in Windows 10 File explorer, or Saving Microsoft 360 Word / Excel docs to that same directory on my NAS network drive - the time it takes for this is too long. Admittedly yes it is a NAS network drive however there is a very important consideration here and that is that there is one other PC which is using the same NAS and there is no delay on that other PC when doing the above tasks - put simply on that other PC everything is instantaneous.


Differences between pc's


1. Mine - Windows 10 home retail, Ryzen 3 1300x 8GB ram. Current SSD 860 evo. All firmware updated everywhere. Build is no longer than 12 months old

2. Other - Windows 10 Home oem, Intel 8th Gen i5, 8GB Ram. Current SSD 850 Evo. All firmware updated everywhere. Build is no longer than 2 months old.


Mine is still a recent generation CPU so im not sure what the actual problem is here.


Before anyone responds with 'try setting folder display settings to general items' - i have set it to show that already. I have also explored the indexing settings and rebuilt my index (although i cant rebuild a NAS index i believe as its not on any local drives).


I have also installed a fresh clean copy of windows 10 retail on a new SSD thinking it is the SSD or even Windows having a corrupted index, virus etc. Still same problem. I have even taken the fresh copy out and put it into the other pc to use its hardware and booted from it - Still same problem.


Thanks in Advance Community

Directory Size Utility

First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel?
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?

Thanks buddy! Yea, this section's not dead. Kreij and I have big plans for this section. I don't want to give nothing away, but we have some bigger projects down the road. *Toast :toast: I feel I'm pretty good at coding with different languages, but I'm well behind Kreij's level of experience with those other Languages. I've been working on those other languages, and soon I'll feel comfortable enough to start, and not feel like I'm holding the project back. *Toast :toast:

Now on to your suggestions.

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that? Yea, that's been bothering me and I like your suggestion "Add Folder". I'll change it on the next release.
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs) I could add this, but let me see if I understand what you're asking. By subfolders you mean add all the folders in the left panel to the right panel? Those folders are all the subfolders in the "Get folder".
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel? I'll add this on the next release.
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too? I'll add this on the next release.
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories? I'll add this on the next release.

These are all great suggestions! Thanks Drone! *Toast :toast:
