GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 165930
run dialog
Last modified: 2005-02-05 17:09:56 UTC
Here is my request. The run dialog takes sooo long to complete on my system. Fast computer, slow harddrive. I also know all the programs I run. I wish it did try to do autocomplete. I wish that there was an option to turn off autocomplete, or at least store it in ram. (i have looked through gconf-editor, unable to find anything) It is a something I avoid showing my girlfriend on her laptop, because it takes so long. I mean how long does it take to type "firefox" after you have been using linux for a long time!! yet you have to wait for it to check all programs..... that being said gnome I appreciate all the work the developers do!!!! thanks
The performance of this option should be better in 2.10 due to bug 133243 being fixed. I'm duping this to 152025 -- that bug is for implementing a gconf option to disable the autocompletion. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 152025 ***
