QDir entryList performing slowly

[caduel]

Well, you could call entryList() repeatedly to get first all files starting with a, then b,...
- doesn't help though, when all files start with a common prefix...

A single call to entryList() takes as long as it takes.
You can file a request for enhancement with the trolls if you think it is slower than it should/could be.

Have a look at QDirIterator: it will allow you to navigate directory entries once at a time, and might satisfy more to your needs.

QDirIterator is the way to go for non blocking directory browsing.
