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?
Not a bug but perhaps a feature. Maybe there is some settings to pass
in our use of QFileDialog to disable this behaviour. Somebody ought to
read the docs...
I don't see any such option, but then I don't see this behavior on
Linux, either. The dialog opens up pretty much immediately, and I do
have a networked directory under /home/rgheck/.
What about this option: QFileDialog::DontResolveSymlinks
