The file chooser is mostly the work of the wonderful Federico Mena-Quintero. You can fiind snippets about it on his blog, for example: http://www.gnome.org/~federico/news-2008-02.html#gtkfilechooser-bug-week http://www.gnome.org/~federico/news-2006-02.html#16 Asynchronous filling of the file chooser (close to your suggestion) was added in gtk 2.10 by Kristian Rietveld and released in July 2006. Though I think it's been turned off at some point since due to a regression with the gnome-vfs backend. Or something like that. It's supposed to all be working again now, I understand, and works with completion as well. I'm sure if you have a good idea for improving performance, Federico would love to hear it.
