This has been a problem for a while (couple years anyway). Over time the Open File In Solution dialog takes longer and longer to open. I generally fix this by reopening the solution, but it's frustrating and I'd like it to be fixed.
I think it's related to having the "Show only files in the current solution" checkbox cleared.
Thanks |

Which Visual Studio are you using?
Which version of Windows are you using?
Is that problem depends on how many documents have you opened in parallel? Or it "just" gets slower and slower? e.g. when you re-open your solution, do you have the same number of files (tabs) opened as you had before the re-open and despite this you got faster performance? |

VS 2008
Windows 7
If I close the open documents it's faster, at least in my current scenario.
I don't use VS to build, so the solution doesn't contain a list of files, so I tend to accumulate open files over time. However, OFIS should just be doing filename substring matches - the delay makes zero sense. I don't have *that* many files open.
Looked in to it a bit with Procmon and ResourceMonitor. Doesn't appear to be hitting the disk, or hard faulting. devenv CPU usage spikes. I can't imagine what it taking so long to load a list of files when not hitting the disk. |

| The bottleneck is having to ask the IDE what files are open. If you check the "show only files in the current solution" box, are any files missing from the list? If you load an empty solution, VA should add files you open to the OFIS list if the "if solution is empty" option is checked in the VA Options dialog on the Projects | File Handling page. |

Thanks! This seems to be working well for the moment.
There was a reason I checked that box, but I don't think that File Handling option was there when I made that decision years ago. |

The file handling options have been added over the last few years, so they probably weren't there when you made the original decisions about your settings. I am glad they are helping  |
