I have a big directory with a lot of screenshots which I use to upload them somewhere when I need to and every time I have to wait for about 10 seconds before I can upload single image because KDialog freezes every time. I'm using Chromium. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find or make a new directory with a lot of random files in it: mkdir /tmp/bigdir && for x in {1..500}; do touch /tmp/bigdir/$x; done 2. Open Chromium, go to any website which has file upload form (for example: imageshack.us ). 3. Click "Browse" button, go to your big directory and choose any file from there. This step will make KDialog (Or Chromium?) to remember this directory and open it next time. 4. Click "Browse" button again and you got it. Actual Results: KDialog shows your big directory and freezes for about 10 or so seconds. Expected Results: Not freezing. CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 P340 RAM: 4GB Qt: 4.8.5 KDE Development Platform: 4.10.5
The way to reproduce it without Chromium: kdialog --getopenurl /path/to/bigdir
