Sure wish you had a mail list like before. Forums are a pain.
PMView 2000 has worked fine up until right now. When I try to open a file, it opens a subdirectory on my K: drive and won't let me switch to any other drive. If I close up the K: drive to the root directory and close PMView, when I reopen it the same subdirectory is opened again. The subdirectory is quite large -- about 1.6 GB of railroad photos. PMView 2000 might be in "overload" on this subdirectory. Is there an INI file I should delete? - Peter |

PMView versions up to v2.14 will not work well in directories with thousands of files due to a n^2 performance behavior of the IBM OCL collection classes. (In plain English this means that if 1000 files take 1 second to complete, 10000 files will take 100 seconds and 100000 files will take almost 3 hours to complete...)
PMView v2.20 that is released at the end of the week solves this problem. (OCL is thrown out and replaced with STL). You can use IniMaint or a similar program and delete the FileOpen/CurrentPath key from the OS/2 registry.
