Description

Config: "editor.fullScreenOnStart": true OS: Windows 10 Home Oni version: 0.3.1

PC:

  • RAM: 8GB
  • CPU: Intel i5-6300 HQ @ 2.3GHz
  • Storage: TOSHIBA MQ02ABD100H (SSHD, SSD Hybrid)

When I'm trying to perform global search (Ctrl-F) it stars working really hard and in a couple seconds whole UI frezes with blank main area and only header menu visible. After this whole PC is freezed and I can't do anything except rebooting it. Looks like this can be related to the number of files in the working directory.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the global search implementation, focusing on file system traversal and potential memory leaks or synchronous I/O that could cause the UI thread to freeze. Look for recursive directory reading or large data processing without throttling.
