I'm also annoyed by this and the reason is that LyX1.5svn scans all directories before opening the
dialog. LyX 1.4.4 doesn't do this so the dialog pops up immediately.
I'm sure that this is the reason because on my home PC, the dialog opens in 1.5svn after 1-2 seconds
but at work 5-10 seconds are needed when I have connected network drives and also only 1-2 seconds
when I disconnected the network drives.
When using LyX 1.4.4 it makes no difference if the network drives are connected.
I don't understand why LyX scans all directories because the network drives don't contain any LyX or
third-party stuff needed by LyX or could this be a Qt bug in the file open dialog routine?
