Hi, guys! I'm getting pretty annoyed when starting Rawstudio at work where we use AFS. In case you're not aware, AFS is a networked file system, where the /afs node in one's file system lists every registered AFS cell in the world. An strace reveals that when starting Rawstudio, it attempts to list every one of these AFS cells, which is unbearably slow. I suspect that it might be the directory tree widget on the Open tab that is the culprit: it's very common for that kind of widget to delve at least one step into each directory level that it can see in order to determine if it needs to put a '+' (or whatever) by the directory name to show that it can be expanded. Don't you think it would be possible to delay the initialisation of this directory tree widget until the Open tab is actually displayed? That would help a lot. So far, Rawstudio has been loading for half an hour... :-)
