Quote:One small suggestion. When you load the settings of a specific tab in xbian-config-xbmc and try to load the settings from another tab. The second tab waits for the first tab to complete. It would be great to have some sort of threading so you can load various tabs at the same time.

it's in a thread (one thread by loading cat), first version wasn't, but if i remember, i didn't have pushed it, so your version should be threaded.
Normally it should be possible to load multiple cat
but i develop under vnc, and sometimes it freeze, don't know if it's the case without vnc.
you can activate Debug, and check log, you should see if loading is started.

Also only somes are freezing (Service,Packages and preference),
loading is same code for all, so i suspect a 'race condition' bug,
i was first believe that processor was full, but it's happens also in preference where code is really simple (read small data on a small file).

i have looking a bit before, but didn't find what's the problem. i've found a bug with progress dialog and xbmcbultin call, and it take me very long time to find. if i've found time, will look again, but it's not a priority for me

and there is a lock around xbian-config call, i use now only one bash session, and communicate via stdin/stdout. So only one call is allowed at the same time.
pipe & co is not my cup of tea, do you think it's possible that each call has stdout redirect to a different pipe?
but this is not the main problem i think as preference has no xbian-config call
