Hi, I'm using gedit 2.12.1 on SUSE. I am trying to open a file in a directory with about 15000 things in it. It takes forever (10 mins or so). I do an strace and I can see the following: open("/blah/blah", O_RDONLY) = 17 fstat(17, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 1048576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2b33705f3000 read(17, "#!sdf lsdjf lsjfsl jdslkfdj lkflka"..., 1048576) = 2057 close(17) = 0 munmap(0x2b33705f3000, 1048576) = 0 So it looks like it is opening every single file and reading the first line. Presumably this is so the gtk file chooser can determine the type of the file for displaying the icon? I can't see anywhere in gedit where I can turn this behaviour off. I suppose there must be some .gconf setting somewhere I could set? Any help will be much appreciated please. (on a related note I have a wxpython programme that uses gtk underneath that has the exact same problem. It would be nice to sort both problems out, ie. I would rather not just have a gedit-work-around-fix, but rather a more general solution).
