Hi, recently wine applications seem to be very slow when the Open File Dialogue is listing a directory containing lots of files. For example a directory with 450 files in just took 15 seconds to open. Or is that normal? Version 1.1.35 Cheers, Jamie

I have used Wine for a year running Dreamweaver and PhotoShop. No, problems until just before Christmas. Then Wine became unusable because opening/ browsing directories is very slow. Opening a file after the 30 seconds wait is fast and normal. The CPUs are running at almost 100% when "hanging", and the winedevice.exe process has status pipe_wait. I remember that after upgrading to 1.1.35 it asked to download some drivers. Wine has never done this before. I regret that I did not note details on this. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall several times, but the problem is still there. Could anybody help?
The last post should start with: "I have used Wine for a year running Dreamweaver and PhotoShop. No problems until just before Christmas."

Wine works fine now. Got 1.0.1 from the standard Ubunty repository. I had specified the wine.budgetdedicated.com repository which gave the 1.1.35 revision. This is not recommended by Ubuntu, I read today. Thanks for your comment. And, thanks for the Wine program.
