--- Comment #6 from flan_suse <windows2li...@zoho.com> --- So the question is... what *is* KDialog even doing? Does it inspect / examine every file in the navigated directory? For comparison: * Dolphin loads a folder with 14,000 files very quickly * GTK file selector loads a folder with 14,000 files very quickly * Qt file selector loads a folder with 14,000 files very quickly * Windows Explorer loads a folder with 14,000 files almost instantly This is true of a network share or a local folder. I believe the error message people are seeing is inter-related to some sort of bloat of KDialog. It's doing too much. A directory listing, even of thousands of files, should simply... list the contents. That's why we experience, even on fast computers, the "loading" phenomenon when browsing large folders with KDialog. Even on repeat visits! What is KDialog doing under the hood for this long-standing issue that has never been addressed or streamlined? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
