: Enhancement
: Medium
: 0
: RESOLVED
: IMPLEMENTED
: 5.9.2
Emails with Johnen Stefan in September 2016.
Implemented.
See Issue 1533 and Issue 702 and WinSCP 5.6 change "Preventing stale network drives from slowing or completely halting main window opening."
Generalized in Issue 1556.
Caused Issue 1709 – to solve, this change is now disabled by default and can be re-enabled using
/rawconfig Interface\TimeoutShellIconRetrieval=1
Since WinSCP 5.14.2, .exe icons are loaded asynchronously.
