Slow open from explorer

Then open images from explorer or something else(WinRAR). I open first image then press ESC then click on next image and i wait for about 10 seconds to open. I use multiple instances of xnview in preferences, but not help. Xnview very slow close and cause this bug.
How correct this?
Thank you.

Hello !
- This could be caused by the plugins loading, if you have the whole plugins…
- Try to move temporarily the useless plugins in any empty directory; you can keep too the minimal amount of plugins, then pack the rest in the Plugin sub-dir, moving the DLLs in the archive (RAR, ZIP… that I do the most time)

Kind regards,
Claude

Thank you very much.

Pausing the virus scanner is not really an option. Please have a look at Slow starting and quitting (1.70.2 and above), this should help.

My Light mode idea could solve this problem too... (I'll add an Automatic light mode soon, too...)

I just add xnview to exclude list.

I've excluded XnView and it's subdirectories from scanning in McAfee VirusScan, but this did not help. The one and only thing that helped was using the Windows registry. I'd be interested to know which virusscanner and version you are using and whether excluding helps in your case.

@Dreamer: I think light mode or automatic light mode might speed up things a bit, but here we are talking about a 10 second start-up time. 10 seconds is not just slow, it's unacceptable and a bug.

But i think that XnView is not the problem, only win32 API to access xnview.ini....

I use Russian AV DrWeb www.drweb.com if you interest. I add %programfiles%\xnview works fine.
My settings store in %programfiles%\xnview\xnview.ini
