Description Sunil 2021-06-10 06:30:40 UTC
Description:
When there are a bunch of files in the folder where the document needs to be saved (in my case around 2900 files), the dialog box is unresponsive/slow. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new document (can be Writer, Calc or Impress)
2.Go to File Menu -> Save
3.Navigate to a folder with a lot of subfolders/files with around 2000 files. 
4.Start typing a name

Actual Results:
While typing the window/dialog box becomes unresponsive for a while.

Expected Results:
Typing a filename should be fast and responsive.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
The slowness/unresponsiveness can be noticed when there are 1000 files, becomes kind of unusable when there are >=4000 files. 

This issue is also present on:

Not in Windows, even with 10.000 files. If so, Mac only. 
Is this another duplicate of bug 128233?

@Sunil: have you granted full disk access to LO with regard to the folder in which you are trying to save the file ?
Comment 3 Alex Thurgood 2022-01-26 11:14:56 UTC
Unfortunately, I don't have any folder on my macOS devices with >4000 files in it (nor any remote folders like that either).

Retested on latest version 7.4.0.3. Still the issue is there. 

Steps to reproduce (Assuming soffice is in path):
1. Execute the following script:
> #!/bin/bash
>for i in {1..10000}
>do
>   echo "Hello World" >> temp_lo_file_$i.txt
>done
>soffice temp_lo_file_1.txt
2. Click File -> Save As:
3. Remove the filename and start typing. 

It takes a lot of time to show the save as dialog box and the typing is not responsive.

Cleanup temp files:
> rm temp_lo_file_*

Please have a look at the attached gif/video.

I can not reproduce

Can you test on 7.5?
