Re: Oxygen hanging at startup - Requested files
Hello, Thank you for the files. There is no problem with the content of the com.oxygenxml folder. The delay occurs when oXygen creates the file chooser dialog component of Java Swing and when oXygen sets the current directory in this component to D:\Documents and Settings\buschp\My Documents. Did you retarget your My Documents folder to a network drive? Are other network drives mapped to your file system but there is no connection to these drives? Does oXygen start up normally if you add the parameter -Duser.home=C:\temp\folder to the java command line in oxygen.bat and start oXygen again with the oxygen.bat script?

Hello Sorin, attached you will find the files you told me to send on the list. I hope it's ok, that I send this one off list and directly to your address.
Hello,
Did you retarget your My Documents folder to a network drive? Are other network drives mapped to your file system but there is no connection to these drives? "My Documents" is retargeted to "D:\Documents and Settings\buschp\My Documents". The only specialty about it is that it is not on "C:". Nevertheless "D:" is a local partition of my hard disk and not a network drive. I have a bunch of network drives mapped. Two of them are mapped although I have no access rights for them.
Does oXygen start up normally if you add the parameter -Duser.home=C:\temp\folder to the java command line in oxygen.bat and start oXygen again with the oxygen.bat script? The line in oxygen.bat now looks like this (without the linebreaks):
java -Xmx256m -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dcom.oxygenxml.ApplicationDataFolder="%APPDATA%" -Duser.home=D:\temp -cp %CP% ro.sync.exml.Oxygen %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 Yet oxygen.bat does not work. I also removed the network drives that I don't have access to but it's not better. One funny thing I just saw is the value of some environment variables: %HOMEDRIVE%: "M:" "M:" is one of the network drives that I have access to. %HOMEPATH%: "\" Together %HOMEDRIVE% and %HOMEPATH% make "M:\"... %USERPROFILE%: "D:\Documents and Settings\buschp" %USERPROFILE% is obviously not %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% which I thought was the normal state. I temporarily changed %HOMEDRIVE% and %HOMEPATH% to make "D:\Documents and Settings\buschp" but that didn't help either. Regards Paul
Hello Sorin, got him! I just went through the list of things I installed during the last weeks. Among them "Nokia PC Suite" which allows you to manipulate files on your cell phone via USB cable or Bluetooth with some obscure extension for windows explorer. I just uninstalled that and Oxygen is going as fast as usual. It would be an explanation that Oxygen tried to read the virtual cell phone folder and took so long because the cell phone wasn't connected. It wasn't any faster when I connected the phone via Bluetooth though. If I have to make a choice between PC Suite and Oxygen I choose Oxygen. Maybe it would be possible to exclude such special folders from the file dialogs. After all it's pretty unlikely that one will be storing anything interesting for Oxygen on a cell phone and the synchronization feature of PC Suite is a neat tool as well. Regards and thanks a bunch for your help! Paul
