Noel Grandin commented on PIVOT-656:
------------------------------------
This is an occasional problem when browsing windows network folders.
There really isn't anything useful that can be done - I've seen the same thing
numerous times with Windows Explorer, so it's not just a Pivot problem.
What I do in one of my browsing widgets is to put a temporary "Loading..." node
into the tree so at least the user knows that something is happening.

> Key: PIVOT-656
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-656
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Reporter: A.J.
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> Our customer complains about the FileBrowserSheet being unresponsive while
> browsing network folders.
> I haven't been able to reproduce this in my development environment but I saw
> this in 'action' (or inaction in this case).
> They click a folder then ... nothing happens, they wait, then wait. They are
> free to try other folders (I guess this is asynchronous task) but nothing
> happens.
> I've asked them to navigate the same network path with the Windows explorer
> which has no apparent problem (some slowdowns at worst).
> So, it's hard to say where the problems is (no stack trace) but there is a
> problem.
> One first improvement that could be done would be to display an hourglass
> (busy cursor) while the current I/O operation is pending.
> Another one could be also to set a timer after which the I/O operation would
> be canceled (or abandonned) and give back hand to the calling code.
> That's all I'm thinking fo r now.
> As soon as I can get some more info on the origin of the problem, I'll update
> this issue.
> Cheers,
> A.J.
