Thank you for the report and your STC supplied in another post. One
thing I have consistently noticed with 5.15.18 using other programs is
that populating the first open file dialog takes a very long time. It is
not hanging, but it sure looks like it. Maybe that's the case for you.
Is that just a Qt thing, or Cygwin in general? I've noticed this
behaviour for quite some time (~/Downloads is on spinning disks in
this example):
Username@computer:~/Downloads
$ time ls -l >/dev/null
real 0m30.818s
user 0m0.015s
sys 0m0.109s
Username@computer:~/Downloads
$ time ls -l >/dev/null
real 0m0.060s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.046s
Username@computer:~/Downloads
$ ls -l | wc -l
1202
Regards,
Scott
Are you using some kind of remote user database, Active Directory or
something, and your computer is a domain member? That may be... slow.
And since ls defaults to sorted output, it will look up user and group
details for all your 1202 files in Downloads before giving you the list.
