File managers and their impact on program use
I didn’t like standard windows explorer and tried Multicommander.
I was actually enjoying its use until recently.
(probably a Windows 10 (Pro) update tipped the scales against it)When using MsCad recently I noticed it acting contrary.
It would lock up for no reason and with no prescribed pattern of use.
Modelling was disastrous.I run 2 screens, and I notice Multicommander (my file explorer) was acting a bit odd on the left screen. It too was locking.
I force closed MsCad closed Multicommander, restarted MsCad and all was well.
I closed, restarted Multicommander then MsCad and the problems started again.I’ve never encountered anything like it and have now uninstalled Multicommander and am using Xyplorer. So far no problems.
MsCad creates a directory that remains active and open whilst the job (dwg) is open. Close the dwg and the msj directory disappears.
I can only assume it was monitoring the msj directory and interfering with MsCad.
I wrote to them but didn’t hear back.
