Dear Kinovea community and developers. I am experiencing very long startup times of the order of 10 min. I think this is related

463239 - DEBUG - [Main] - RootKernel - Modules tree built in 462636 ms.

Looks like this is scanning all the cloud drives and my phone connection (through Phone Link). Is there a way to stop Kinovea to scan these drives? Local drives are sufficient for me.

Thanks,
Sven

Thanks for the report. I think it's a combined problem in the file explorer tree view component accessing the network drives and trying to cache the little file icons in the background. Incidentally I also noticed a slowdown on the Favorites tab when a sub-folder has a large amount of files, like 150 files or so.

I think there is utility in accessing network drives for some users though so it should be an option.

The file explorer component is also causing issues on some Windows versions and on Wine. It is hooking into very old and low level Windows API. I will try to address it asap but it's not a quick fix. Although maybe a temporary measure would be to make a build without the explorer tree view component at all.
