    Description

      When using non-native QFileDialog, it will take a while before the dialog shows up.

       

      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QFileDialog>
      #include <windows.h>
      
      void MessageOutput( QtMsgType type, const QMessageLogContext &context, const QString &msg)
      {
          QString message = "[DEBUG] -- " + msg + "\n";
          OutputDebugString(message.toStdString().c_str());
      }
      
      int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
      {
          QApplication app(argc, argv);    
          qInstallMessageHandler(MessageOutput);    
      
          QFileDialog dlg;
          dlg.setOption( QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog );
          dlg.show();    
      
          return app.exec();
      } 

       

      It takes many minutes before the dialog actually shows up. 

      The console reports "[DEBUG] – SHGetFileInfo() timed out for C:\..." for all files and folders contained by the default folder where the dialog strats in. Every "timed out" message takes up to 10 seconds to come, so the more files and folders the path contains, the longer the dialog takes to show up.
