I've forgotten to report:

the first movements works. 10 pix or 20pix. after than: errors!

error:
file xyz.jpg cant' be moved from harddisk one to harddisk two.
abort/repeat/ignore

my tests:
I marked several hundreds(!!) (thousands?) of pix, and want them to move.

what goes there wrong?

thanks
klaus

hi peter
thanks für your answer,

I have tested several times in last days:

-with normal mouse (basic_device:os2)
=same errors

-NOT on samba_drives. only on two different harddisks ON my system: both jfs
=same errors

"errors" means:

a. "can't do this"[somethink like this]: abort,retry,ignore
its only possible: to abort.

b. after this, and closing pmview:
it's unpossible to start a java_app ("can't find java*.dll") or other app's, they need dll's.
explanation FOR ME: it seams, var: libpath is destroyed by pmview?. only possible: reboot.

I have asked several times for tools, which them I can have a closer look on this malfunctions. doesn't anybody here know so a like tool? and how to use?

thanks a lot!

hi peter

ok, ok. maybe, there are probs with "samba-filesystem".

but last but not least: I have memory leaks!
working with pmview. all other porgramms get lost. after ending with pmview.
pmmail doesn't want to work. firefox also. and some other programs.
I have to restart all machine.
THIS doesnt have basics in samba, or?


does there exist one tool, which with I can define those obscure(?) memleaks?

hi peter, thank you for your replie


[maybe my quotes are not very correct....]


= I' don't want to use ext.attribs. Are they for usually enabled?

Nb: I'm beginning to use THESEUS(V4), to see memory leaks. but I'm not very shure to use this program. Do You know any hint?

hi

I have several problems with pmview.
maybe they depend from my hardware, maybe they depend from my network:

graphikcard: matrox mga-g550 (snap 446)
network: mainly os2, big library of graphicfiles resides on a linux(samba-newest version)-server(suse9.3), some lvd-scsi-200GB's.
to connect with network, I'm using newest NDFS32 with newest samba_plugin.
os2-pmview 3.12 (german)

in last weeks(months) there happens very often:

1. working with pmview, loading more than 1000 jpg's in file browser, who views only thumbnails, he's very slow.

2. sometimes happens, that pmview get all available free memory (=600MB) (my os2 starts with approx 800MB ram), and there is no free mem, it's like zero.

3. I must work with many thumbs. in folders there are more than 1000 thumbs. to work with them, means: copy/remove to other folders.
If I remove to another folder approx 2000 thumbs, it works.
If I repeat to work with another hundreds of thumbs, it will sometimes answer: abort,retry,ignore. (titel: to remove file from hiere to there)
sometimes at the beginning I can RETRY. later there's only possible: abort.
It helps: to restart whole computer! nothing else!
at this times, sometimes mouse_actions doesn't work IN pmview.

whats wrong with my computer?
or with pmview?
could it be question of some dll-lib-files?

its a very certain question for me. I must do go on with my work with pmview.... ;-)


thanks a lot for Your help,
yours
