I have installed Geany 0.21 on Windows 7 on a local drive. When I click on "Open", it takes 18-19 seconds until the "open" dialogue appears. It then shows correctly the files (also on local drive), and selection goes quickly from then on.
Any idea why we have this long waiting time? It occurs on every "open", not just the first one after starting Geany.

Do you have remote file systems mapped (ie. shared folders, ftp, etc.)? I know at least in Linux, since 2.24.something the GTK+ file chooser dialog started accessing every remote file system that was available, taking an long amount of time depending on the speed of the connection, just to find out what type of icon to show in the dialog's sidebar. What version of GTK+ are you using? (it should show it under Help->Debug Messages or printed on the command prompt if you run `geany -v`.
One thing you could try is to use "native" Windows dialogs, which no doubt won't suffer from this bug. IIRC it's a hidden setting in the geany.conf file. I believe it's documented in the manual somewhere.
If it's not this remote file system/dialog problem, I have no idea.

I have plenty of Network pathes mapped, BUT
- There is no reason why Geany should look at them (because if I have a file open in drive C:, and click on open, I will get a new open dialogue on drive C: again - no need for Geany to look elsewhere).
- The other network drives are connected (and can be accessed quickly from other Windows applications)

Indeed, this helped! Thanks a lot!!!

Not hidden! It can be configured using the preferences!

Couldn't reproduce the issue on my win7 system (though I don't have any drive letters mapped, but do have "network places" that show up on the My Computer screen).
But I did change the open/save dialog to the windows ones since I like the win7 ones better than the gtk ones for a windows computer. :)
Maybe an issue with the "startup path" setting (default dir for open/save)? Maybe the blank/default of current working directory is causing some querying/timeout to occur?
