Very slow 'adding' files

Well, I'm not sure what is "slow" for you, but in my system it doesn't look slow.

Anyway, what pyRenamer does is:
- Read the files inside directory using python's glob function.
- Add the files to a gtk.TreeStore
- Show the files on the GUI

Maybe, the perfomance problem comes from the gtk.TreeStore, I'm not sure...

In my system, 'slow' is 30 seconds to read a directory with 33 files inside. Or 42 seconds with another directory with 48 files. Almost 1 second per file.
Perhaps this problem comes from the configuration of my system. I don't know.
Thanks!

Wow, that's really weird.

Could you please try this command to see if the problem comes from pyrenamer or from python's glob?

$ python
>>> import glob
>>> glob.glob('/etc/*')
>>> glob.glob('the_dir_you're_having_problems_with')

Need more information from the user to see if it's a pyRenamer problem, or other problem.

Well. Function 'glob' is not the problem. It returns list of files almost immediately. The problem is with all the directories. There is not one directory slower than other. It depends of the number of files inside.

I think is better to continue this on the bug report.
