SW2005 Design Library take ages to access
SW2005 Design Library take ages to access
(OP)
I have installed SW2005SP1.1 and configured it for "production".
I tried to create folders in the design library (task pane)to direct link folders on the server (one link for drawing database; another for developement folders).
The problem is that SW take several minutes to access these folders (meaning not possible to use).
If I try to access them by the file explorer (also in the taske pane) it take only a few seconds (not much different than Windows Explorer).
Can something be wrong?
Regards

I found that same problem when the folder has a lot of sub folders.
I finaly created a network place in windows explorer irght to the folder I wanted to use. That seems to speed up access to that folder.
Hope this makes sense.

I also don't think that's a firewall because the file explorer access is fast.
I think it as to do with the folder size (the number of files). The design library tries to show all SW icons in the folder and it takes time (now I remember: what if I disable the icon showing?).
I will also try your suggestion rporter.
Thanks
RE: SW2005 Design Library take ages to access
The access time grows exponentially related to the number of files in the folder.
So,... back again to good old Explorer.
