"Select directory" dialoge of "Preferences -> Tools" hangs

When opening the file selection dialog to set the local Axis 1.4 install folder in the preferences window, the application hangs.


The application is still responding, but very slowly and it takes several minutes navigating to the folder i want to select.
When the dialog initially opens, it defaults to having the "My Network" selected and expanded, and all network folders shown as well.

    Hi,

    The fact that the file dialog is opening your network folder by default is quite strange. I have noticed that I don't have any problems unless I manually go to the Network folder, which does cause the problem you're reporting.... unfortunately, this is not something we can fix in SoapUI and will occur with any other program that opens the network folder in Windows.

    I believe that if you use the file dialog to select a folder which is not in the Network, the next time you use the file dialog it will not default to open your network folders and you probably will not have this problem anymore.

    Hope this helps,
