[Cuis-dev] FileList preference

[Gerald Klix]

Please do not remove that feature.

The file-list always starts at the root directory. On a Unix host with a deep
directory hierarchy with remote file-systems, I make sense, to start
the file list somewhere down the hierarchy. Otherwise, you may experience
considerable delay with a remote file-system such as sshfs.

Perhaps you remember the delays before opening the list during my Haver demo.
I forgot to change that setting.

I am aware an option to ignore mount-points in the list would be more helpful.
Alas AFAIK there now support in the VM to discover mount-points. On Linux
one may read /prco/mounts, but that isn't portable.

HTH,
Gerald
