File browser slow and filter is not always working

[Marcel Hoefs]

Version 14.0.1.1965

In the file browser I have defined a file location for our subversion repository copy on my local hard drive. The subversion repository is fairly large: > 50000 files. This setup is almost unworkable slow and the filter does not work most of the time. After startup usually I am able to open the file browser and use the filter to search for example for a specific package. When after this I click the clear filter button PL/SQL Dev freezes and several minutes later the file browser reappears completely blank. The file browser then stays blank until I restart PL/SQL Dev.
Sometimes when I use the filter field in the file browser I get this error: file browser argument out

So for me this renders the file browser completely useless and this is a shame as I have liked this functionality much in the past.

To obtain some more diagnostic information, can you modify the PL/SQL Developer shortcut and add the DebugSQL parameter? For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer 14\plsqldev.exe" DebugSQL

Reproduce the problem and send me the debug.txt file that is generated in the %APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer 14 directory (e.g. C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer 14).
