When I use "open file" or "open remote" it takes a very long time to get to the dialog pane. Once there, all is good. Is this just me or do others have the same issue. BTW i am using MAC OSX 10.11 El Capitan but this is not an option to change in my profile.

Are you using the latest updater, which is 14.04v?  I'm on El Capitan with 14.0v3 and it is very fast for me. 

i have seen this too, if you know all the domain names or IP addresses of your servers for the file and don't mind adding them again - you might be better off and dragging the .plist file from the users preference folder and see if that clears it up.

I have seen it behave if i have multiple paths to the server  saved as a favorite - local IP address, DNS name, and or Bonjour. 

(btw i updated the profile fields and added El Capitan.)

Thanks

Ill try to delete the plist. 

also I am on v4 but this has been an issue since 14v1

Delete the prefs file worked

a half dozen files in the preferences including Lockfiles - presumably from versions 12 and 13 is now just 2 files.

thanks
