video files create freeze

[lazylazyjoe]

When I click (rt or left, not talking about double click) on an .avi or .mp4 it will open my media splitter(haali), during which time the program is unresponsive for about 5 seconds, then close the media splitter. This creates a large inconvenience when I am trying to sort or get file information from any of these file types. Any ideas?

This is been caused by the fact that E++ tries to generate a file preview when you select an item. For something like a video file, it can take some time to generate, which causes the delay you noticed. From the next version, file previews will be generated in a background thread, so there won't be any delay. For now, you can turn off file previews (Tools->Options, uncheck Show file previes in display window), which will stop the delay.
