when i start an import from the filesystem of many files the ui blocks for the 
time eclipse is counting the files, this is done before the real import is 
starting. 
not until all files are counted the import starts and shows the progress on 
the progress bar.
during counting there is no way to cancel the operation and the ui is blocked, 
there should be the reason to do so!

the problem is very critical when importing lot of files from a network drives 
or filesystems with symbolic links.

the only way to cancel such an operation is to kill the eclipse process.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
