A script file associated to a given file type takes much more time than executing the same script from a terminal. While opening a file by clicking on its icon takes 6-7 seconds, opening the same file, through the same script, yet entered as command line from the konqueror terminal emulation, takes only 1-2 seconds. Any ideas? thank you for your help -- Pol ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list. Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
