GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 168020
openfile dialog accesses noninvolved filesystems
Last modified: 2006-10-26 17:30:25 UTC
Please describe the problem: Every time when the new Gtk-2.6(?) dialog (used by Gimp 2.2.3, for example) appears, it seems to access all my filesystems for unknown reason. Result: hard disks beeing suspended suddenly wake up for no reason (no reason because there is nothing I want to open on them, the dialog even shows a completely different directory as default). I don't know why this happens, maybe the open dialog collects some stats (since du command causes the same thing). However, it really should not. Steps to reproduce: 1. suspend harddisks (with hdparm) 2. Start gimp or any other application using this dialog 3. Try to open something Actual results: Waiting some seconds, a lot of noise (of disks beeing awakened) Expected results: just open the dialog with the predefined directory and show files therein Does this happen every time? Other information:
Would be useful to know if you are using the GTK+ or gnome-vfs backend. (Not sure how to tell easily these days ... maybe Federico has a technique)
This was fixed in bug #319532, I believe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 319532 ***
