Moving files within the content explorer extremely slow

[Dave1975]

Hi there,

When I try to move files between content folders, it takes ages for Flare to complete the task.

What I do is select the files in the right side pane of the content explorer and then drag them to the target folder in the left side pane. Flare then correctly provides the info on the links that will be updated, but then it's usually game over. Moving one topic or even 1 image of 5KB takes forever and most of the time ends in having to kill the Flare process manually because the software hangs.

Strangely enough I don't recall seeing this behavour when I first started using Flare.

Since yesterday I'm using source control (TFS) but that cannot be the cause as the issue started out a while ago already.

Is there something I can do to make this process work (faster)? I will need to move a couple of thousand files around...

thanks

Dave

You might need to refresh the database of dependencies, which is stored in the Analyzer folder.

Close Flare, delete the Analyzer folder, and reopen the project. Give Flare a few minutes to rebuild the database, then do some moves and see if there's improvement.
