Luc-Eric,
do you know if the file change notification on Windows can somehow be slowed down, maybe with a registry setting? So instead of once in a second, it would only update every 10 or 30 seconds for instance?
Also, would it be possible to make the XSI file browser a bit more "standard" so that one can see the network neighborhood directly in the folder tree? I don't use mapped drives but UNC and "Network Links" to my most often used locations (drag any network folder onto the network neighborhood and it creates a direct link to it that can be directly browsed) and the way the XSI file browser works makes this a bit of a pain.
Would it be possible to consider a preference to switch to the default Windows file browser window? Together with my beloved "FileEx" (http://www.cottonwoodsw.com/) this would be way more flexible and convenient for me - I don't know how others think about this though.
Thank you very much!

If you have access to the next release, so you could try that one as we made changes to the browser code. In previous version, it's come to our attention that if you access a network drive where a lot of other people (for example, the render farm) are writing, it slows down the browser as it gets a flood of notifications of file changes and works to filter out what matters and what doesn't. Check also if using you can map a drive letter directly to only
the location you need, and use that one instead. For example 'subst z: \\myserver\share\myproject\render_picture In some cases, I believe the 'workgroup' and 'addon' under the 'path' button could be an issue, that's easy to check by renaming your user folder for a moment for that check.
Note that the flipbook remembers your last used sequence names, which you can get by clicking the combo box arrow at the end of the file name edit field.
