#103 closed defect (duplicate)

File open dialog accesses all drives upon opening

Description

When the file open dialog is opened in an application, it accesses all drives including the floppy and DVD/CD ones even if the current path is not located there.

It would be great if this could be changed to access the drives only when required because:

  • This puts stress on the floppy drive which is usually empty these days and makes the DVD/CD drive spin up unnecessarily if a disc is located in the drive.
  • The dialog won't work until the TOC of all media has been read which can take quite some time for floppies and DVDs/CDs.
