QFileDialog Question

**sgrant327** · 9th September 2010, 22:14

When viewing a folder over a network on WinXP, why does QFileDialog take a long time to display a large number of files? About 5 - 10 times longer than Windows File Explorer?

Because getting a large file list over a network is slower

Oh boy, THANKS...that REALLY helped.

Come on, behave.

What I said is true.
But... if there are other things that might make things slower, I unfortunately can not see them in my crystal ball.

Edit:
Does this bug describe your problem?

I was behaving, or at least trying to...

Yeah, that bug does pretty much describe my issue. Guess I will try to use the 'native' dialog and see if it helps until a bug fix comes along...
