Hmmm, I know there is a limitation in GTK 1.2 which will only handel arround 2600 files and then there are the scrollbars missing... With GTK+2.6 I have already opened folder with over 60.000 images without and problems... Maybe the Computer has not enough memory to hold the file listing? I can open 60.000 files on A Sempron 2200+ with 512 MByte memory on Sarge, Etch, Lenny and Sid.

Still, from a shell, it doesn't take a whole long time on my box (an Athlon 1000) to list the contents: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.Mail/temp/inbox$ time (ls -l | wc -l) 32287 real 0m1.134s user 0m0.744s sys 0m0.352s Any "file picker" will take at least that much time - if not a lot more - to stat() all the files and get the metadata info, thne it has to present all the data (in fairness, ls -l takes more time than plain 'ls'. Opening up krusader and having it show the same directory does take a bit of time - at least a few seconds, probably more, although I didn't time it. But at least it doesn't hang. Doug. > > >

And, as I have already pointed out, you have hit the jackpot, since that was the very problem I faced. :-) Thanks.

The closest to that which I have seen is that the larger a directory gets, the longer it takes to open a GTK File dialog. And it just burns up the CPU.

And even further, if the default selection on the left is my home directory, the moment I type "/" in the file name bar, it repeats the hanging business. Further hints? Thanks in advance.

OK, here's a narrowed down clue. This happens only when the "File System" option is involved. When I do Edit->Preferences and choose "File System" as the default save location, it just hangs in a similar fashion. And my default save location happens to be "File Systems", so it's hanging there (consistent with the earlier observation). Further hints anyone? Thanks!

Right. The window becomes unusable, I am unable to regain control over the application, and am forced to kill it.

GTK+ File dialog hangs
Dear Debian user, I am having this problem with the GTK+ file dialogs that whenever I try to save a file in any GTK+ based applications, it just keeps doing something and effectively hangs. Is someone else facing the same problem? I am on sid, by the way. libgtk2.0-0 version 2.10.13-1 Thanks!
