Network drives & quick folders

If an entry in quick folders is defined as a network drive and is offline -- such as when the computer is down or in my case on a VM that is powered off -- selecting New Local Browser will hang SmartFTP for a long time, meaning for 5-10 minutes and until the offending entry is removed from quick folders it is not possible to bring up a new local browser.

I don't use quick folders so I personally would like an option to turn it off...but barring that a shorter timeout would be good.

My version is 3.0.1022.37

Thanks
