Do not know if you work with version-controlled files... but if yes i would recommend only switching off the empty-dir-check (i.e. setting ecb-prescan-directories-for-emptyness to nil) and try if ecb-vc-enable-support switched on (recommended-value is 'unless-remote) is ok for you. switch the latter one only off when the problem still is there... Ciao, Klaus P.S. I think i should write a problem-report to the XEmacs-list about the really slow and delayed response-time of (input-pending-p) in combination with cygwin-file-operations.....
