Putting taglist.txt on a network drive

Putting taglist.txt on a network drive

    We are implementing UltraEdit for multiple users. We'd like to be able to put our taglist.txt on our network drives for multiple users to access. However, whenever we put it on one of our network drives and point UltraEdit at the new file, it loads the file (I can see the scroll bar change) and hangs UltraEdit for almost a minute. The screen goes white and you can't do anything with UltraEdit until it comes back. It does the same thing when you try to close the "Modify Tags" box as well. Is there something we can do to prevent this from happening? This happens on any network drive, including ones to which we have full access to. Also, after it's loaded, it seems to work normally, but any time you open or modify the tag control panel, it does this same slow/hang thing.

    In addition, we are doing the same thing with our wordlist.txt and don't have any issue with that.

    Thanks for any help you can give us.

      I have tried it and don't have problems with the taglist file on a network drive. Maybe your network configuration or the virusscan program makes the problem. You could use Filemon from SysInternals to check what's going on while the taglist file on the network drive is loaded or modified by UltraEdit.

      On my computer a part of the filemon log looks as follows:

      Code: Select all

      OPEN               Z:\Taglist.txt  SUCCESS           Options: Open  Access: All
LOCK               Z:\Taglist.txt  SUCCESS           Offset: 0 Length: -1
QUERY INFORMATION  Z:\Taglist.txt  SUCCESS           FileStandardInformation
READ               Z:\Taglist.txt  SUCCESS           Offset: 0 Length: 15420
UNLOCK             Z:\Taglist.txt  RANGE NOT LOCKED  Offset: 0 Length: -1
CLOSE              Z:\Taglist.txt  SUCCESS
OPEN               Z:\Taglist.txt  SUCCESS           Options: Open  Access: All
LOCK               Z:\Taglist.txt  SUCCESS           Offset: 0 Length: -1
QUERY INFORMATION  Z:\Taglist.txt  SUCCESS           FileStandardInformation
READ               Z:\Taglist.txt  SUCCESS           Offset: 0 Length: 15420
UNLOCK             Z:\Taglist.txt  RANGE NOT LOCKED  Offset: 0 Length: -1
CLOSE              Z:\Taglist.txt  SUCCESS
      The multiple OPEN/LOCK/READ/UNLOCK/CLOSE accesses could be a problem if more than 1 user has open UltraEdit with this taglist file. You should write an email to IDM support and ask if they could change this or if they have a better idea to handle a shared taglist file.

      Hint: Also turn off Load/Restore Printer Settings at Advanced - Configuration - Editor - Advanced if you have a network printer as default printer.
