Damn, I was hoping newer versions weren't doing this. Do you know if the file chooser is actually sniffing every single file initially, or just the ones that are visible in the chooser? (An strace will show you). If it is the former, then the newer gtk won't help me: opening 15000 files is simply too slow, your experiment was quicker for other reasons (perhaps because your directory wasn't over nfs over a san over some slow crappy fileserver). If it is the latter, then that is useful to know. Thanks!
